VYCC Fall Camping Crew Member

Dedicated Crew Members are essential to the success of the program, and their efforts have a significant impact on habitat, water quality, and outdoor recreation in Vermont. With a 40-year history in the state, VYCC crews have completed thousands of conservation projects. Corps Members work and learn together in a collaborative crew environment where they gain skills, build community and have a positive impact on the land.

Projects include trail building, infrastructure improvement at State Parks, sustainable forestry, invasive plant management, and more. In every case, Corps Members receive training and support from VYCC staff. The experience is immersive and physically demanding. With that challenge also comes tremendous personal reward. For young people passionate about the outdoors, joining VYCC is a great opportunity to steward the environment while also developing valuable leadership skills.
