Program\u202fDescription:\u202f<\/strong>\u202f <\/p>\n

Northwest Youth Corps is seeking young adults ages 19+ to camp, travel, and work together on challenging conservation projects across the Northwest.\u202f <\/p>\n

Crew members camp in tents for\u202f10 weeks, traveling to multiple sites across the mountains and forests of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Experienced field staff provide training on projects such as tree planting,\u202ffuels\u202freduction, invasive plant removal, and trail\u202fconstruction, using hand and power tools.\u202fYou join\u202fa close-knit team of 4-5 crew members who play a vital role in improving our public lands and the environment.\u202f <\/p>\n

This is tough work. We work in all weather. Our projects are hands-on, team-based, and physically demanding. Crews camp\u202ftogether\u202fthe entire session continuously. On weekends, crews usually go into town to resupply on food, get showers and laundry, and explore the area. Occasionally we have backcountry work deep in the forest for two weeks or more. We value community, connection with others, and mutual support. All training is provided. If you\u202fhaven’t\u202fhad\u202faccess to the\u202foutdoors but are interested in\u202fgrowing\u202fyour skills,\u202fcome learn\u202fwith us.\u202f <\/p>\n

All crew member positions are AmeriCorps service programs designed to provide hands-on training and experience. Crew alumni often go on to work for land management agencies like the Forest Service or Fish and Wildlife Service, other nonprofits, or in leadership roles with NYC. There is also the opportunity to earn a Public Land Corps hiring authority upon program completion, which makes getting a federal job less competitive. Graduates of the program also gain access to our Alumni Network for career development and networking opportunities, and for staying connected with crewmates. Training varies, but may include chainsaw\/crosscut certification, trail construction and maintenance techniques, conservation education, driver training, and more.\u202f <\/p>\n
