RMYC Youth Conservation Corps Leader
 
 
 
The Youth Conservation Corps (YCC) provides an incredible opportunity for youth in Grades 6-12 to make a meaningful impact while gaining hands-on experience. Each year, more than 200 participants join forces to complete transformative conservation projects across 10 counties in Northwest Colorado. Through the YCC, participants engage in projects that range from trail building and environmental restoration to managing invasive species and improving wildlife habitats. These efforts leave a lasting legacy, enhancing both the natural environment and local communities. Being part of an RMYC crew means working with a dedicated team of 8-10 peers and two experienced crew leaders over two weeks or four weeks. Crews take on challenging, sustainability-focused projects during the day and camp together under the stars at night, forging strong bonds and unforgettable memories. The YCC experience combines hard work, leadership development, and personal growth. Participants face demanding conditions but leave with new skills, enduring friendships, and a sense of pride in their accomplishments. It’s an adventure that shapes both the individual and the environment, creating a positive ripple effect that resonates far beyond the season's end.
