CONSERVATION CORPS 18+

About Conservation Corps

Since 2000, this cornerstone program of Rocky Mountain Youth Corps has served up to 170 young people each year through environmental conservation projects and education. RMYC offers a diverse set of hard skills training opportunities including trail work, fuel reductions, environmental restoration, recreation management, historic preservation, wildlife habitat management, and invasive species management. 

​

Joining an RMYC crew means immersing yourself in a season of adventure, collaboration, and meaningful conservation work in the breathtaking landscapes of northwest Colorado and Wyoming. As part of a tight-knit team of 8-10 individuals, you'll live and work together in a camping setting, tackling priority projects throughout the week and unwinding by exploring the stunning Rocky Mountains on weekends. While it demands hard work in challenging conditions, this journey creates unforgettable memories and transformative experiences.

All 2025 APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN
