Youth Conservation Corps
 

This program recruits local teens from a broad spectrum of communities for summer-long employment. Over the course of 8 weeks, teens work on a variety of projects that provide valuable hands-on experience related to parks, trails, and natural resources management; tackling issues like habitat restoration and invasive species management. Conservation Corps members are provided professional development opportunities and exposure to a diverse group of professionals who share their expertise.

Take action today to help build and sustain natural areas in Raleigh and inspire the next generation to pursue their environmental careers. Contact Darrell Kain at darrell.kain@raleighnc.gov or 919-996-6157.
