Idaho Conservation Corps is hiring assistant leaders for next summer to lead youth crews, camp in remote mountains and high deserts, and work on conservation projects.
Assistant crew leaders lead, manage, and support conservation crews of youth ages 16-18 along with their crew leader. Crews include approximately 8 youth members and 2 leaders. Youth members come from across the country to camp, work, and learn together restoring wild places.
As a leader, you will be responsible for ensuring the physical and emotional welfare of your crew. You’ll work together onhands-on, conservation-oriented projects on federal, state, and private lands, and facilitate short daily lessons with our accredited outdooreducationcurriculum.
This is hard work. You’ll wake early on frosty mornings to get your crew started and will camp in tents for two 5-week programs in succession with occasional days off. Projects are physicallychallenging; you’ll train your crew to safely use hand tools to build trails, cut down invasive plants, and restore natural areas. The youth you work with will challenge you to be the best leader you can be, and you’ll watch them grow as a team during the summer of a lifetime.
