The Partnership for the 21st Century Conservation Service Corps (P-21CSC) supports the development and implementation of the 21CSC to reach its goal of engaging 100,000 young people and veterans per year in conservation service. The Partnership’s members include key federal, state, local and non-profit leaders and stakeholders of the 21CSC.  The Partnership will keep an active membership roster to ensure that all relevant stakeholders are involved.

The Partnership for the 21CSC’s charter calls for it to develop “national partnerships to support 21CSC”.  These partnerships with national non-profit and for-profit organizations support the development and implementation of the 21CSC to reach its goal of engaging 100,000 young people and veterans per year in conservation service.  Click here to view national partnerships page.
