🌳 Empowering youth & young adults to be the next generation of public land stewards!
















































How would you like to work, learn, play, and grow in Yellowstone's wonderland? We are now accepting applications for this summer's Youth Conservation Corps Program! The YCC Program is a month-long, work-based education program for students between the ages of 15 and 18. Teens will be selected from across the country to live and work in the park on a variety of important conservation projects such as trail rehabilitation, campground restoration, and data collection for science projects. It's not all work though! Corps members will also have opportunities to learn about Yellowstone's natural and cultural resources, learn about National Park Service careers, and participate in outdoor activities like hiking, rafting, fishing, and ranger programs. No previous wilderness experience is required, but a willingness and ability to work in a physically active outdoor program, get along well with others, and maintain a positive attitude are essential for success. 👉Applications are due March 1!
