Join us as a crew member for our Land Conservation program for the Fall Forestry season. We need adventurous, hard-working individuals to complete land conservation projects through team-based field work across the stunning open spaces and mountain parks of the Colorado Southern Front Range. You’ll learn how to build trails, maintain parks, use chainsaws, perform fire mitigation and forest thinning work in Colorado pine forests, remove invasive tree species in open spaces & grasslands, and protect wildlife habitats. Put your personal development at the top of your priority list, next to community service and environmental impact. Get paid biweekly while doing what you love and earn a scholarship at the end of the summer.

Not an experienced outdoorsperson? Never built a trail or used a chainsaw? That's okay! Our crews begin the season with a week of in-house orientation and a week of field training on trail building or chainsaw operation. All we ask is that you bring your dedication to hard work, a positive attitude, and a commitment to a summer you’ll never forget.

Schedule: This is a full-time temporary position, from August 20th - November 15th, 2019. Crews camp Monday through Thursday on four day hitches in the field, working for 10 hours a day, and then followed by a three day weekend.

Crews meet at the office in Colorado Springs every Monday morning, then camp at remote project sites through Thursday afternoon each week. All food is provided by Mile High Youth Corps while camping, and camping gear is available to use for the season if needed.

Qualifications:

Between 18-24 years old and eligible to legally serve in the United States. Documentation will be required on the first day.

Must be eligible for enrollment in AmeriCorps as a US Citizen, National, or Lawful Permanent Resident. Documentation will be required on the first day.

High School Diploma or equivalency required.
