Montana Conservation Corps

Montana Conservation Corps is a non-profit organization based in Helena, Montana. Employing 77 people, the organization is dedicated to inspiring young people to become leaders and stewards of the land through hands-on conservation service. The Montana Conservation Corps offers two main programs: the AmeriCorps Field Crew program and the Youth Service Expeditions. The AmeriCorps program enrolls over 300 young adults aged 18 and up from across the United States, while the Youth Service Expeditions engage over 250 Montana teenagers aged 13 to 17. Participants work in crews of six to eight members on conservation projects in diverse locations, including local communities, national forests, state and national parks, wildlife refuges, and federally designated wilderness areas. The organization's unique approach combines challenging conservation projects with the rigors of camp life and educational opportunities aimed at fostering engaged citizens and lifelong environmental stewards. The Montana Conservation Corps emphasizes personal growth, leadership development, and teamwork, equipping participants with valuable skills that extend beyond their service.
