The Youth Conservation Corps or YCC is a well-balanced work-learn-earn program that develops participants’ understanding and appreciation of the nation’s environment and heritage. YCC participants will engage in a wide variety of conservation and park operations activities that will teach them about national parks and the National Park Service’s mission to protect special places for all.
The park may hire up to four youths in the YCC program at the federal minimum wage. The program will run for up to eight weeks, from June 8, 2020 to July 31, 2020, with participants working 40 hours per week, Monday through Friday. Enrollees must be at least 15 years of age by June 8, 2020, and no older than 18 years old on July 31, 2020. To apply, applicants must fill out an application and if not 18 years of age, have a parent’s or guardian’s signature. The randomly selected applicants will be contacted by program coordinator Theo Chargualaf. Participation will be dependent on available funding. Please be advised, due to the current situation with Covid-19, the program is not guaranteed to run.
