Through our Youth Programs, RMYC provides leadership and hands-on service experience for youth ages 11-18. Participants provide service to communities including beautifying, weeding, trail work, restoration, gardening, barbed wire fence maintenance, and other conservation-based projects in 10 counties in beautiful Northwest Colorado each year. RMYC offers a diverse set of skills training opportunities including trail work, environmental restoration, and wildlife habitat management. Participation involves hard work in tough conditions but makes for amazing memories and experiences.

As a Youth Corps Leader, you will lead crews of 10 young people on two or four-week sessions. You will provide a safe, yet adventurous space for youth to work hard, grow personally and professionally, and develop strong bonds with their crew.  We offer four different crew types: Service Learning Crew(11-13), Routt Community Youth Crew(14-15), Regional Youth Crew(14-18), and Ladies Youth Crew(14-18). Service Learning Crew offers two-week sessions as a day program except one evening of camping. Routt Community Youth Crew offers two-week sessions, the first week as a day program, and the second as a camping week. Regional Youth Crew and Ladies Youth Crew have two or four-week sessions where you are together camping, working, and recreating 24/7 during the sessions. Youth Crew Leaders are supported by their Field Coordinator.  The Field Coordinator provides leadership and support for 4-5 crews operating on a 24/7 model and day crews. To find out more, check out our position descriptions below!
