Vermont Youth Conservation Corps - across the state of Vermont

Seasonal Professional - Conservation Crew Leader

The Vermont Youth Conservation Corps is a non-profit youth, leadership, conservation, and education organization that promote the values of hard work, education, team work, and taking 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 Corps Members to complete projects such as bridge construction, stone work, watershed restoration, and trail construction.

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 be a rewarding experience unlike any other.

Room and Board: 
VYCC Crews live, eat, and work together in the great outdoors of Vermont. Roving Crews are based at campsites where they prepare meals together and reside in VYCC issued tents. Community Crews work during the day in their communities but return to their homes each night.

Perks!
Crew Leaders earn $475-525 per week; plus a $750 completion bonus (6 month positions only).
Assistant Crew Leaders earn $350 per week; plus are eligible for a $2114 Americorps Education Award.
Pro-deals and discounts at local businesses.
Training Stipend.
Leave No Trace Trainer certification and other education-based certifications.

Getting Here and Getting Around
: For Roving Crew positions, vehicles are provided to VYCC employees during the season. For Community Crew positions, Crew Leaders and Corps Members will be expected to arrange their own transportation to the crew base each day.

For Fun!

Being on a VYCC crew is the ultimate seasonal job with the ability to be outside all summer long! Crews are based throughout Vermont and some work and live in multiple locations throughout the session. Crews will be working on and near some of the best hiking trails in Vermont. Crews frequently explore Vermont’s many gems during the weekends for their recreational activities.
