The
Conservation Corps of the Forgotten Coast is recruiting 10 new crew
members.
Conservation
Corps of the Forgotten Coast is a youth development program for young
adults 18-25 years of age who are not engaged in school or a career
pathway.
The
program provides participants with job training, academic
programming, leadership skills, and additional support.
The
year-long program opens pathways to careers in land management,
environmental restoration, construction, and disaster response.
Participants
gain hands-on experience implementing environmental restoration
projects, improving public lands, engaging in construction projects
to address affordable housing, and providing disaster response
services for communities across the state.
Crew
members earn industry certifications, complete their high school
diplomas, gain leadership skills, and build transferable job skills.
In
the last two years, 34 crew members have earned 115 industry
certifications, have completed over 48 environmental restoration and
park renovation projects, and have responded to three natural
disasters.
Crew
members also receive a weekly training allowance and are assisted
with personal goals such as obtaining driver’s licenses and
transportation, securing housing, and accessing medical and dental
care.
If
you are interested in learning more, you need to move fast.
Recruitment
closes August 25 in order for orientation to begin the following
week.
Those
