EarthCorps product offering
Product offeringCore offering
EarthCorps runs a yearlong environmental leadership development and green-jobs training Corps Program for young adults in Seattle, paired with hands-on ecological restoration services across the Puget Sound region. It delivers corporate and community volunteer events, contracted ecosystem, stream, wetland, urban park, trail, pollution clean-up, and green stormwater infrastructure work, and hosts community engagement events including the Revive Festival and Campfire Chat series. Programs are organized around an explicit environmental justice and racial equity mission, partnering with tribal nations, government agencies, schools, and community organizations.
Product overview
EarthCorps operates as a nonprofit service organization offering environmental restoration and leadership development programs rather than a technology product company. Its portfolio consists primarily of service programs including the Corps Program (a yearlong environmental leadership training), volunteer programs (corporate and community events), and specialized field initiatives (ecosystem restoration, stream/wetland restoration, trail maintenance, pollution cleanup, and green infrastructure). Special projects include the Commencement Bay Stewardship Collaborative, Mycoremediation Pilot Program, and Yes Farm Partnership. The organization also hosts community events including the Revive Festival and Campfire Chat virtual conversations. These services are integrated through a community partnership network focused on environmental justice in the Puget Sound region.

EarthCorps partnerships and signals
Strategic signalPartnerships
17 partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.
- Black Farmers CollectivecoreEarthCorps entered a collaborative partnership with the Black Farmers Collective in January 2019 to help restore and prepare 1.5 acres of land in Seattle's Yesler Terrace area for urban farming through the Yes Farm initiative. In 2020, EarthCorps deepened the relationship by placing a corps member on the farm as a farm specialist to help build the capacity of Yes Farm and the Black Farmers Collective through volunteer leadership, land restoration, and community outreach.
- Bridging Cultural Gaps (BCG)coreEarthCorps partners with Bridging Cultural Gaps to increase engagement of East African and Muslim communities in environmental restoration and green job opportunities. BCG, a Seattle-based non-profit, aims to expand environmental work by incorporating it into its existing programs and developing an environmental wing. The partnership addresses identified barriers of lack of information and limited access to resources facing North African and Muslim youth in pursuing environmental career paths.
- Foster High SchoolcoreEarthCorps partners with Foster High School in Tukwila, one of the most diverse high schools in the US, to provide gateways and opportunities for short-term and summer environmental internships. Students join crews on multi-day camping trips for restoration projects, with EarthCorps providing site visits, stipends, transportation, and food. The partnership advances EarthCorps' environmental justice mission by engaging BIPOC youth.
- Wakulima USAcoreEarthCorps partners with Wakulima USA, a Washington-based farming and food cooperative founded by immigrants from Africa, to empower BIPOC youth and low-income immigrants through equitable access to culturally relevant food and sustainable urban farming.

- Washington Department of Natural ResourcescoreWashington Department of Natural Resources partners with EarthCorps on creosote cleanup in the San Juan Islands and on multiple stream restoration projects including along the Green-Duwamish, Hylebos, Skagit, Snoqualmie, Stillaguamish, Samish, and Puyallup rivers.

EarthCorps competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Student Conservation Association: National conservation corps running yearlong and seasonal service programs for young adults doing environmental restoration. Operates the same corps-based model as EarthCorps but at national scale, serving as the closest direct peer for program design, recruitment, and federal funding exposure.
- Groundwork USA: A national network of local Groundwork trusts running youth-focused environmental restoration in urban areas, with a community-based and environmental justice orientation similar to EarthCorps. Trusts like Groundwork Seattle in EarthCorps' own service area compete directly for partnerships and funding.
- Washington Conservation Corps: A state-funded AmeriCorps program placing young adults in environmental restoration projects across Washington State, including work with the Snoqualmie Tribe and Seattle Public Utilities that overlaps EarthCorps' field initiatives. Operates in the same geography with a similar crew-based delivery model.
- Green Seattle Partnership: Seattle's flagship urban forest restoration initiative that EarthCorps helped spawn through its 2003 Ivy-Free initiative. Operates as a public-private collaboration for the same 1,000+ acre restoration portfolio; functions as both a peer and an upstream partnership channel for EarthCorps.
- Washington Trails Association: Pacific Northwest nonprofit running volunteer-based trail building and maintenance with a youth and community mobilization model closely paralleling EarthCorps' trail initiative (110+ trails built). Directly competes for trail-related volunteer hours and corporate team-building events in the same geography.
- IslandWood: A Puget Sound environmental education nonprofit that historically employed EarthCorps alumni and operates learning programs overlapping with EarthCorps' youth engagement focus. Comparable scale and shared regional talent pool.
Regional players
- Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust: A regional land trust and restoration organization operating across the Snoqualmie corridor, including trail building and forest stewardship that overlaps EarthCorps' Western Washington work. Comparable scale, comparable region, but focused on the I-90 corridor rather than Puget Sound basin.
Broad incumbents
- The Nature Conservancy Washington Chapter: A major national conservation organization with a Washington chapter that partners with EarthCorps on the Revive Festival and restoration work. Operates at significantly larger scale and acts as both a funder/partner and an institutional competitor for corporate donations.
- Forterra: Pacific Northwest-based land trust and conservation organization covering similar restoration and conservation priorities across Washington State. Operates at broader geographic and programmatic scale, including land acquisition and policy work outside EarthCorps' core restoration niche.
Others
- Puget Sound Partnership: State agency coordinating Puget Sound recovery efforts and providing grants to restoration-focused nonprofits including EarthCorps. Functions as an indirect enabler/funder rather than a direct competitor, shaping regional demand and contract availability for EarthCorps services.
