Conservation: Advanced Forest Crew Leader
 
 
 
Conservation Crew Leaders are essential to the success of any Conservation Crew and their efforts have a significant impact on habitat, water quality, and outdoor recreation in Vermont. 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 paid 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.

Member Duties : Each week starts on Monday to prepare to leave headquarters by 7:30AM and drive to project site. Leaders are required to camp with their crew throughout the week. Crews return to headquarters every Friday to unpack, clean gear, and have the weekends off. Project schedules are varied. For weekends, access to a personal vehicle is strongly encouraged for off-time transportation. Richmond is rural with no public transit. Leaders are responsible for ensuring camp life runs smoothly, camp chores are done, administrative tasks are finished, and projects are high quality. This typically takes an average of 45-55 hours per week, with potential for additional time depending on time management or crew needs. A successful Leader fosters an inclusive and supportive crew community, helps crews navigate challenges and celebrate successes and provides opportunities for personal and professional growth while staying organized and managing their time effectively.
