AmeriCorps Youth Environmental Stewardship Program

Members will serve 900 hours over a 10 month period. That works about to be about 20 hours per week from October 2 to August 2. You will be serving outdoors to restore forest habitat and leading community events to teach people about ways they can better care for the environment. Here's a video from an AmeriCorps member doing similar work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogx-I7rrC9c

Check out Utah Conservation Corps and Montana Conservation Corps on Tik Tok to see more about the service you'll be doing. Conservation Corps members live at the site they work at, this program does not have that as part of the program. Housing is not provided. 

For more information check out the member position description.

Besides the monthly stipend of $900 and the education award at the end of your 10 months of service you will get to be part of protecting the environment, improving your community, making life long friends, and improving your career prospects. You will get training in plant identification, chainsaw use and safety, water conservation and protection, soil health and conservation, habitat restoration for wildlife, resume writing, how to get and keep a job worth having, and much more. Information about jobs that are available in environmental stewardship and access to people working in those jobs will be provided throughout the program.
