&lt;p&gt;Seattle Conservation Corps provides pathways to employment and stable housing for adults experiencing homelessness.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Seattle Conservation Corps is majority-self-sustaining.&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Our labor contracts generate more than $3 million in annual gross revenues from public and private clients in Seattle and neighboring King County locations, making Seattle Conservation Corps a powerful and cost-effective social good program.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;We are generalist landscapers and construction workers.&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Seattle Conservation Corps members perform a range of generalist manual labor, including mowing, leaf blowing, trail work, shrub bed renovation, irrigation, board-ups, abatements, demolition, landscaping, and hardscaping.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Conservation Corps crews are trained and supervised in the field by an experienced Crew Lead, ensuring our work is performed to professional quality.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;We are cost-effective!&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;SCC projects usually come in at a lower price point than private sector contractors. Corps members' work is overseen by experienced career service Crew Leads, ensuring quality standards are met or exceeded.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Due to the nature of our program, we&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;do not&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;offer licensed construction trades such as electrical, carpentry, plumbing, painting, or roofing. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;This keeps our prices competitive against private sector companies that may offer more comprehensive services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</Copy>
