SGVCC is an intensive program that helps disadvantaged and/or disengaged youth develop the motivation, self confidence, work skills, and education, e.g. attainment of high school diploma, necessary to take advantage of an opportunity to succeed in life. Guided by adult leaders, who serve as mentors, role models, technical trainers and supervisors, SGVCC participants work in crews of 5 to 10 to rebuild or revitalize blighted areas in their communities.
