Do you want to spend your summer leading a crew doing trail work in the woods in northwest Montana? If so, take a look at this job!

Apply here to the Kalispell office: https://www.mtcorps.org/joinmcc/young-adult-opportunities/field-crew-leader.html

The Crew Leader (CL) will assist in the successful completion of MCC natural resource and community service projects, on-site management of 4-6 participants, monitoring of crew dynamics to ensure a high level of crew motivation and functioning, as well as the delivery of the full range of MCC program components. This is not a 9-5 job, rather a commitment to service and an experience where long hours and extended time away from your home base are to be expected. Serving as a CL at MCC means having passion for service to others, for wild lands and wild places, for personal growth, or for any number of MCC’s values. Leaders and their crews will camp for most of their term, often times in remote locations in varied terrain and in all weather conditions.

Work may include building or maintaining trails, treating or removing invasive species, building fences, operating chainsaws to reduce wildfire risks by thinning trees, among many other types of projects. Not all CLs will work on all types of projects.

Each crew will consist of 4 members and 2 leader. Crews will work and camp for up to 10 days at a time in frontcountry and backcountry locations in all types of weather conditions. Each member will get basic first aid/CPR certifications and, more importantly, a professional stepping stone to agencies like BLM, Forest Service, and the Parks Service!
