Northwest Youth Corps - Community Wildfire Hitch Crew Member
 
 
 
• Participants work on physically demanding Community Wildfire Protection projects in all kinds of weather and terrain such as creating defensible space around critical infrastructure and fuel reduction. While in session, crews will be responsible for completing wildfire fuel reduction projects. • Our program is a highly structured immersive experience. • We focus intentionally on the concept of community within our crews, which means we focus on being present with one another and CWPC Crew members do not use cell phones or headphones during work hours (we intentionally “unplug”). • Participants engage in many group activities each day to help the crew function, including tool maintenance, daily debriefs, formal educational sessions and more. • Participants are actively mentored and empowered by their Crew Leader and expected to take on increasing leadership roles within the crew, including acting as a “leader of the day/week” by the end of the program. • Through these challenging and rewarding experiences, our programs consistently help members become resilient, disciplined, empathetic and strong. A high value is placed upon interpersonal dynamics and the development of robust professional skill sets. • CWPC Crew members assist in creating resilient communities in the face of Wildfire.
