OCCC has a strong commitment to civic service. "Serve" is a foundation concept in OCCC's <br />mission. Participants' time at the OCCC is largely spent serving their communities. OCCC <br />projects and on-the-job training opportunities cover Orange County: aiding recycling efforts, <br />restoring its native habitats, protecting water supplies, and working on fee for service projects <br />throughout the county. Corpsmembers and students leave the OCCC program with an <br />understanding of our natural resources and why we must preserve them. <br />B.
