About Us

The Tiüvac’a’ai Tribal Conservation Corps’ hands-on training program will work with Native youth and young adults towards the goals of regaining ecological functionality, enhancing climate resiliency, and human well-being.

Building Skills Through Culture, Community, and Environmental Stewardship

The Tiüvac’a’ai Tribal Conservation Corps connects workforce development with culture, community, and environmental learning.

Corpsmembers receive structured training, guidance, and staff supervision while building practical workplace, leadership, and communication skills. Program activities may include native plant nursery support, community planting, routine site care, cultural and environmental education, and other approved stewardship projects.

These experiences help young adults prepare for future employment and education while strengthening their connection to community, culture, and Tribal values.

The Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians is a Tribal community of northern Los Angeles County, made up of lineages from the Santa Clarita, Simi, San Fernando, and Antelope Valleys. The Tribal Administration Office is located in the City of San Fernando, near Mission San Fernando, from which the name Fernandeño is derived.

The Tribe remains deeply connected to its homelands, culture, and community. Through programs like TTCC, young people have opportunities to build skills, learn through service, and strengthen their connection to the land and to Tribal values.
