Core Network Fund

The Corps Network is a Washington, D.C.–based nonprofit membership association founded in 1985 that serves as the National Association of Service and Conservation Corps, representing more than 140 local Corps organizations across the United States that engage young adults and veterans in service projects focused on conservation, community development and workforce skills development. It works to support member Corps through national advocacy, access to funding and project opportunities, operational expertise and program development resources that strengthen conservation and service efforts and expand career pathways for participants. The organization’s mission centers on advancing programs that help transform participants’ lives and communities through career development, civic engagement and environmental stewardship. Through its network, The Corps Network helps connect Corps and partners with federal and state agencies, funders and employers to amplify impact and build capacity for service and conservation work. Its membership and initiatives contribute to public land restoration, community resilience projects, disaster response and workforce development at regional and national scales.
