Vermont Youth Conservation Corps

The VYCC is a statewide, year-round, non-profit conservation and education organization with the mission of teaching individuals to take personal responsibility for their actions.

Description:
Each year we enroll over 300 Corps Members and full-time AmeriCorps Members, aged 16–24, to work, live, and study together in small groups. Starting in fall 2006 we will implement school - based programs at three different sites, including our new Youth Leadership, Education and Training Center at the West Monitor Barn in Richmond, ushering in a major expansion and new direction. All of our crews complete priority conservation, agriculture, park management, and disaster relief projects throughout Vermont and beyond under the guidance of highly trained leaders.
