Austin Civilian Conservation Corps (ACCC) Pathway into Urban Forestry Climate Equity & Partners 1

Austin Civilian Conservation Corps (ACCC) is the next generation climate Corps. We envision and model a transformed work culture. We prioritize equity in green workforce development and expand the narrative of green vocations. ACCC is hosted by Austin Parks and Recreation Department and works cross departmentally and with external partners. There are three main programmatic areas: internal City pathways, external pathways and partnerships, and research and capacity building.

This video will act as a way to increase funding for the Urban Forestry pathway to employment model and will show our partners what we’re doing. This pathway and its partners include ACCC, the Urban Forestry Units, and DSD’s Youth Forest Council.
