CONSERVATION CORPS NORTH CAROLINA:
The mission of Conservation Corps North Carolina (CCNC) is to empower young adults through meaningful outdoor work that benefits North Carolina’s land and water and creates healthy communities.
CCNC is a program of Conservation Legacy that partners with public land managers in North Carolina to engage motivated young adults (ages 16-27) to complete challenging and impactful conservation service projects throughout the region. Projects may include disaster response, trail construction & maintenance, habitat improvement, hazard fuel reduction, and ecological restoration. Crews may also complete technical and/or specialized projects depending on project partner needs, including disaster relief if the opportunity arises.
PROJECT WORK:
Projects will take place in the Greensboro, NC area. Projects including work with FEMA, City of Greensboro, local foodbanks, and emergency response organizations in the region. Members will be deployed for 60 days to work at different activity sites such as COVID-19 vaccination sites and foodbanks. Activities will include communicating with the public, supporting vaccination information campaigns, and supporting on-site logistics and operations at vaccination clinics. Hours served each day may vary throughout season. Work is completed indoors and outdoors, in all types of weather conditions.
SCHEDULE AND CREW LIFE:
CCNC Disaster Response Crews consist of 3-5 crew members and 2 crew leaders who provide project expertise, mentorship, training, and support for the success of all participants. Crew Members will be deployed for a 60 day period with transportation to the worksite, food, and housing provided during that time. Work shifts are typically 6 days followed by 1 days off. These shifts may include weekends and hours may vary based on the needs of vaccination sites and foodbanks. The day starts with a stretch circle and safety meeting and includes two fifteen-minute breaks and a half hour break for lunch.
All meals are provided. Crews work together to plan meals and complete all necessary chores (cooking, washing dishes, etc). We are able to accommodate most dietary restrictions.
CCNC supports a culture of feedback and growth. Crew Members will set goals at the beginning of the season and review their performance through both self-evaluation and a review with their Crew Leader in the middle and at the end of their season. Evaluations will cover topic areas including Professionalism, Responsibility/Leadership/Communication, Community Engagement, Project Work, Safety & Organization, and Equipment. Crew Members will also be asked to evaluate their Crew Leaders’ performance, the overall program, and their experience at the end of their term.
EXPECTATIONS:
This is a residential program. Some equipment is available to borrow throughout the season if needed, but Crew Members are asked to supply as much of their own personal gear (day pack, work pants, closed toed shoes, rain jacket, etc) as possible. A gear list will be provided upon acceptance into the program.
Crew Members are asked to work hard, stay positive, and be flexible with changing schedules, weather conditions, and project needs. This is a seasonal position; Crew Members are asked to fully commit to the experience, expectations, and timeline.
Once Crew Members are selected and prior to their start date, they are required to complete an online enrollment process that includes completing e-forms, uploading IDs, enrolling with AmeriCorps, and beginning their background check process. For those with limited access to online platforms, accommodations may be available and can be discussed during the interview process.
