Southwest Conservation Corps (SCC) provides young women and men with structured, safe, and challenging service and educational opportunities through projects that promote personal growth, the development of social skills, and an ethic of natural resource stewardship. The Ancestral Lands (SCC-AL) program was created to serve Native American youth, working to provide the same opportunities that SCC offers through its other programs. It is the mission of the Southwest Conservation Corps to empower individuals to positively impact their lives, their communities, and the environment; and the Ancestral Lands’ vision is to have Native youth leading our Nations back to ecological and cultural well-being. The Ancestral Lands Conservation Corps has worked to engage Native American communities around the country to offer service-based conservation opportunities to Tribal youth and young adults. Applications are reviewed and the position will be filled on a rolling basis. Please apply early to be considered.
