Welcome
The Central California Consortium (CCC) is
an environmental education based program sponsored
by the US Forest Service. The focus of the
program is to educate the underserved rural
communities on natural resources. Currently
the program has established Hispanic and Asian
components with African-American and Native-American
programs being established in the near future.
The CCC program also sponsors a Generation
Green Club at Reedley High School. The purpose
of the club is to get students involved in
the Forest Service and to encourage students
to continue their education.
The CCC's goals are to:
- - Improve literacy rates in grades K-12
-
- Lower dropout rates for grades 8-9
-
- Elevate the percentage of students moving into natural resource
careers
-
- Increase enrollment in institutions of higher education
-
- Enhance the quality of participating communities
-
- Provide visible role models and mentors
-
- Encourage organized sharing of resources
-
- Facilitate linkages among K-12 students
