Rocky Mountain Youth Corps engages young people in the outdoors, inspiring them to use their strengths and potential to lead healthy, productive lives. RMYC offers a diverse set of skills and training opportunities including trail work, environmental restoration, historic preservation, wildlife habitat management, invasive species management, wildland fire, and more within land management and natural resource fields.
Our program is designed to engage youth and young adults in valuable work experiences within natural resources and land management. The experience can vary from backpacking to remote locations to build a bridge to surveying invasive species in a wildland fire burn scar. One day you might help build a campground and the next you could be blazing a new trail in the wilderness. Expect to spend a ton of time camping outdoors, hiking, and exploring Northwest Colorado’s natural beauty on your weekends with your fellow crew members as well!
A Conservation Corps Crew Leader mentors a team of 6-9 young adults, leading conservation projects like trail work and habitat restoration across Northwest Colorado and beyond. Leaders receive training in outdoor leadership, risk management, and certifications like Wilderness First Responder. This hands-on, 24/7 summer role (hitch-based in the fall) focuses on fostering teamwork, ensuring safety, and guiding the crew to successfully complete meaningful environmental projects.
