San Gabriel Valley Conservation & Service Corps is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, with copyright notices from 2013 and 2020. Its mission states that it is dedicated to helping young adults achieve their maximum potential through education, job training, and leadership development, while they engage in environmental projects, construction, recycling, and other initiatives. The program is described as a non-traditional pathway to education and job training that emphasizes hands-on learning and real-world experience, and it is designed for young adults ages 18–26 seeking paid work experience, job training, and educational pathways. Corpsmembers are paired with mentors who serve as advocates, and the program offers personal development education in areas such as conflict resolution, substance abuse prevention, and responsible driving education, along with career assessment, employment development, and job placement and follow-up services. It partners with YouthBuild Charter School of California to provide educational opportunities to earn a high school diploma, and it identifies its core values as Service, Conservation, Growth, Hope, and Leadership.

The organization states that it offers hands-on opportunities to serve the community, protect the environment, and participate in meaningful service projects that address environmental challenges like climate resilience and community sustainability across the San Gabriel Valley. It reports that thousands of underserved, low-income young adults have taken part in improving themselves while improving their own community, and notes that volunteers are vital to the ongoing operation of EarthWorks Community Farm.
