is life skills. Topics covered are healthy life-styles, conflict
resolution, sexual harassment and drug use prevention,
parenting classes, and financial readiness.
Second general category is on-the-job training. Training
includes teamwork, work ethic and safety, job preparedness,
tool use, trail construction, building construction, public
speaking, landscaping, public art and other skills related to
work projects.
The third category is for more formal education such as
CPR/First Aid certification, CDL licensure, for-credit classes
such as construction, environmental science, STEM (science,
technology, engineering and math) classes and other for-credit
classes. Partnerships are developed with local school districts
and colleges so that curriculum (based on New Mexico Public
Education Department’s Benchmarks and Standards) can be developed. YCC is assisting our Corps members in
furthering their education by encouraging project sponsors to provide credit hours for participating in the project. In
2010, 49 individuals earned 29.5 credit hours toward high school diplomas while 36 Corps members received 95.5
credit hours toward college degrees. The Town of Bernalillo provided the opportunity for two young men to earn
their GEDs.
