Agnes Vianzon has been working hard. After years of experience with the California Conservation Corps (CCC), Agnes decided to take start her own Eastern Sierra Conservation Corps (ESCC), described as a youth and young adult "development and leadership program committed to building a stronger and more inclusive community... through transformational backcountry experiences." Agnes understands the power of the backcountry because she first immersed in it herself as a 20-something in the CCC.
Agnes is laying the groundwork for more than just a nonprofit, she's training and mentoring a new generation to be leaders and environmental stewards. We learn from Agnes about how her life turned out differently than her parents expected, what it's like to start a nonprofit, a bit about the work of Conservation Corps, and why she's so passionate about "Women in the Wilderness," an all-women's backpacking trip for women of color hosted by ESCC.
