    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.
