CECE Whitepaper No. 5: Comparative Results of Conservation Corpsmembers Experiences
How are service corps programs supporting communities as they respond to and recover from disaster? This paper provides insights into who is working in such service corps programs, what are their motivations for serving, and how they hope to contribute to creating more resilient communities post-disaster. The study integrates data collected from members of four different conservation corps across the US that worked to support communities in the Spring and Summer of 2026. The results, which compare across the four service corps programs, provide insights into who is participating and how these programs can provide workforce development while simultaneously engaging young people to support communities after disaster strikes.
