Youth Conservation Corps Progrm




FALL 2022 WEEKEND YOUTH CONSERVATION CORPS PROGRAM

This fall, Conservation Corps North Carolina, in partnership with local non profits and state and federal agencies, is hosting a weekend Youth Conservation Corps Program in six communities. Each weekend is an overnight group camping event that includes training in Leave No Trace principles, a service activity such as tree planting or trail maintenance, and an opportunity for youth to get early experience with the outdoor and conservation industries. This volunteer event is generously sponsored by the Duke Energy Foundation.
