Northwest Youth Corps - Leadership Development Crew Member

Overview

During the first six weeks of the Leadership Development Program, members will work as a crew with other emerging leaders in conservation. Guided by an experienced crew leader, they will complete project work while developing both their technical and their leadership skills. If Leadership Development Program members demonstrate sufficient skills, they will spend an additional 12 weeks completing a leadership practicum.

NYC/ICC's Leadership Development Programs are Ameri Corps service programs designed to provide hands-on training and experience in conservation, land and water resource management, and outdoor careers. The program integrates team-based work projects, education, and on-site vocational training to prioritize personal development, conservation work skills, and leadership. Spring LDP members transition to their leadership practicum to lead, manage, and supervise crews of youth ages 16-18 over two 5-week sessions.

Summer LDP Members transition to their leadership practicum to lead, manage, and supervise crews of young adults over a 10-week session. LDP Members are responsible for completing a variety of hands-on, conservation-oriented projects on public and private lands alongside their crew and project partners. LDP Members are well-balanced individuals who work hard and embody compassion, patience, and an inspirational attitude.

They should expect organizational support during their endeavors that may include weekly check-ins by field supervisors. This seasonal position allows LDP Members to deliver an impactful educational experience to youth just entering the field and provides an entry point within natural resource management, conservation, and outdoor education.
