[MCN] Youth Crew Leaders for Montana Conservation Corps

[Joy Davis]

Montana Conservation Corps has a few slots left for 2016 Youth Crew Leaders!

If you are interested in conservation, youth development, or education, a
term of service as a Youth Crew Leader may be right for you.

Serving as a Youth Crew Leader with Montana Conservation Corps will have a
lifelong impact not only on you, but also on the communities, landscapes
and teens enrolled in our Expedition Program. With MCC you'll discover
unexpected abilities in yourself along with the enduring self-confidence to
effectively lead young people toward accomplishing even the most
challenging tasks. In the end, it is your commitment to serving others,
starting with the youth on your crew, that yields the most satisfaction and
the greatest enjoyment.

Primary duties of the Youth Crew Leader (YCL) include establishing and
maintaining good working relationships with regional staff, members,
project technical advisors, youth, and volunteers to ensure the successful
completion of MCC natural resource and community service projects and
quality implementation of MCC Youth Programming. This position should be
viewed not as a 9-5 job but as an experience where long hours and extended
time away from home, often in remote locations on difficult terrain and in
all weather conditions, are to be expected.

Benefits:
YCLs receive a $626.50 bi-weekly living allowance, training, and health
insurance after 30 days, plus an AmeriCorps Education Award of $2,822 upon
successful completion of the term of service.

Qualifications:
• Must be 21 years old or older
• Must be available to work from March 7, 2016 until August 19, 2016
• At least two years of college, military experience, or equivalent work
experience
• Valid driver's license, ability to pass a motor vehicle records check, US
Citizenship or ability to work in the US
• Strong service ethic and desire to serve the community and the environment
• Commitment to complete the entire term of service
• Effective written and oral communication skills
• Ability to hike up to 12 miles per day in rugged terrain, often carrying
a backpack and tools and ability to lift up to 20 pounds repeatedly, and
ability to use hand and power tools

complete an application through our online application portal no later than
February 16, 2016.
