The Vermont Youth Conservation Corps is a non-profit youth, leadership, conservation, and education organization that promotes the values of hard work, education, team work, and personal responsibility.

As a VYCC Crew Leader you are sure to have the experience of a life time! You and your co-leader will be leading a crew of 6-8 eager Corps Members while completing high priority conservation work in the great state of Vermont! Crews live, eat, recreate, and work together to complete projects such as bridge construction, stone work, watershed restoration, and trail construction.

The combination of a diverse crew with excellent, trained leaders working together on a high-priority conservation project creates a dynamic and educationally rich experience for everyone involved. Once your crew arrives, you will combine your previous experiences with what you've learned at training to transform your crew from a diverse group of strangers into a tight-knit hard-working community.

It will not be easy. Days will be long and you and your co-leader will have a roller coaster of experiences. However, in the end, leading a group of young people in the completion of a backcountry bridge, one mile trail reroute, or construction of urban rain gardens will teach you and your crew lessons and skills that will used for the rest of your lives.
