450hr Virginia Service and Conservation Corps - Interpretive

The Virginia Service and Conservation Corps (VSCC) is dedicated to fostering environmental education, conservation, and community engagement throughout the Commonwealth. The VSCC will engage thirty Interpretive Guide AmeriCorps members to serve 450-hours between May 3, 2024, and August 16, 2024, in select Virginia State Parks. These VSCC AmeriCorps members play a crucial role in connecting individuals with the natural, historical, and cultural treasures that define Virginia's diverse landscapes. By passionately sharing knowledge and creating impactful interpretive programs, VSCC members not only contribute to the preservation of Virginia State Parks but also empower communities to become stewards of their surroundings. The VSCC experience transcends traditional service, offering a unique platform for personal growth, professional development, and the opportunity to make a lasting positive impact on the environment and the lives of those they serve. This position is made for someone interested in sharing their love and passion for the outdoors with others. Without the efforts of VSCC AmeriCorps members, these goals would not be met. Join us in building a sustainable future, where education, conservation, and community engagement intersect to create meaningful change.
