Conservation Fall Camping Crew Member
 
 
 
With a 40-year history in the state, VYCC crews have completed thousands of conservation projects. Corps Members work and learn together in a collaborative crew environment where they gain skills, build community and have a positive impact on the land. Projects range from trail building to infrastructure improvement at State Parks, sustainable forestry to invasive plant management and more. In every case, Corps Members receive training and support from VYCC staff. The experience is immersive and physically demanding. With that challenge also comes tremendous personal reward. For young people passionate about climate resiliency, joining VYCC is a great opportunity to steward the environment while also developing valuable leadership skills. These projects are made possible through VYCC's partnership with SerVermont. This is an AmeriCorps position funded through an AmeriCorps State grant.

Member Duties : Members work together on conservation projects in 4 areas: trail building, water quality improvement, carpentry, and forest health. Crews learn new skills and work in different project areas throughout the season. Each week starts at VYCC in Richmond, VT. Members arrive early on Monday morning to prepare to leave with their crew by 7:30AM and drive to the project site. Members are required to camp in the field with their crew throughout the week. Crews return to VYCC every Friday to unpack, clean gear, and have the weekends off. Members have additional responsibilities at the campsite outside of these hours. Occasionally, Members will have responsibilities on weekends, including training, preparing for and returning from time off, and the end of the season closure. Crews may be called upon by the state of Vermont to respond in the event of a natural disaster, which is opt-in. If you're interested in serving on a disaster relief crew, inquire about this during your interview.
