Johnson Controls is proud to sponsor a summer jobs program through the Conservation Leadership Corps that teaches youth about environmental sustainability. The Conservation Leadership Corps is a program of the Student Conservation Association, a nonprofit organization that offers internships and summer trail crew opportunities to more than 3,000 students each year.
The program began at Milwaukee-area high schools and allows participants the opportunity to hone leadership skills by guiding student work crews on variety of projects to rehabilitate local parks. Based on its success, the program expanded into Baltimore and Detroit. In Baltimore, for example, the students completed 6,350 hours of work in city parks where they undertook invasive plant removal, environmental education and leadership training.
