Forestry and Fire Recruitment Program

Training and Job Coaching FFRP works with trained wildland firefighters in and out of the criminal justice system who have the skills and experience to help address California’s wildfires. We provide pre release inreach services, post-release training, job coaching, and a transitional employment pre apprenticeship program. Connections to Employment FFRP is building bridges between formerly incarcerated wildland firefighters and California’s forestry fire labor force. FFRP directly combats the increasing threat of wildfires by supporting individuals' transition into professional fire and fuels reduction work. Partnerships and Collaboration FFRP works with the State of California and local community partners to provide support and additional services to individuals currently and formerly experiencing incarceration and participating in Fire Camps.
