Generations of Sierra Nevada Job Corps students have volunteered in Washoe County for over 30 years. They were honored with a Resolution of Recognition and Appreciation from the Washoe County Open Space and Parks Commission. Most recently, Cement Masonry students built and installed benches in the new Pollinator Garden at Rancho San Rafael Regional Park. #JobCorps campuses regularly assist their surrounding communities through work-based partnerships and volunteer work.
