EARTH CONSERVATION CORPS

WASHINGTON, District of Columbia, 200024 United States

Mission Statement

To empower our endangered youth to reclaim the Anacostia River, their communities and their lives.

About This Cause

Earth Conservation Corps (ECC) is a nonprofit youth development and environmental service organization located on the heavily polluted Anacostia River in Southeast Washington, DC. Since 1992, ECC has provided hundreds of unemployed, out of school youth ages 17-25 with hands on workforce and leadership development training, environmental education and media arts training. ECC links the effort to restore the Anacostia River with the engagement of our under-served youth in AmeriCorps service. Both, in a sense, are in a daily fight to restore themselves — whether from discarded trash and raw sewage or from the impact of living in neighborhoods with the highest poverty and crime rates in the city.
