Throughout the members term of service, hard and soft skills are

circumstances. Position Description: Youth Corps Camping (YCC) Crew
Leaders co-lead, manage, and supervise conservation crews of nine
youth, ages 16-18, over the course of the summer. The summer season
is broken down into two five week sessions, so leaders oversee two
separate groups over their term of service. While on session, Crew
Leaders will be responsible for completing a series of
conservation-oriented projects on public and private lands, as well
as facilitating daily lessons using our accredited outdoor
education curriculum. Crew leaders are self-disciplined individuals
who possess both patience and empathy, as well as an inspirational
spirit. This seasonal position not only allows Crew Leaders to
deliver an impactful educational experience to young people, but
can also provide an entry-point into the fields of natural resource
management, youth development, and outdoor education. Leader

role, however, will be to manage and motivate their crew of youth.

quality, and productivity. Leaders are mentors and role models,
they set the pace and tone of the project site. This position is
physically, emotionally, and mentally demanding. Leaders will lift
heavy loads, walk long distances, and should expect to find each
project physically challenging. Education - Leaders implement daily
lessons based on NYCs education curriculum (SEED), which
incorporates environmental education, life skills development,
nutrition and health, and job readiness. Field leaders track corps
member participation and progress throughout the program. Field
leaders are encouraged to bring their own skills and experiences to

teachable moments. Required Qualifications: At least 21 years old
