LONG BEACH, Calif. -- The opportunity to enter the workforce for the first time is not the same for everyone.says,"There are people who definitely get excluded from just your general track of 'Leave high school, leave college, go into the workforce.' So we're really trying to fill that gap for people who might not have the opportunity to get work training or may not know where to start.
Eighty Corps members in Long Beach tackle the hard work of urban resiliency: trail repair, trash cleanup strike teams or projects that partner with Long Beach Water Department to provide free drought-resistant landscaping which saves water for the city and money for the homeowner. "I'm kind of using it to gain more information about work. And it gives me time to go to college. Like it really works with my schedule."
