About this organization
Mission
VYCC is a 501c3 non-profit conservation and education organization with the mission of teaching young people personal responsibility through meaningful work that connects us to the land, community, and one another. VYCC programs operate year-round, throughout Vermont and beyond. We believe that every person, regardless of background, has the ability to work hard, make meaningful contributions to a group, and take responsibility for themselves. We believe youth need opportunities to connect with and appreciate the natural world. We believe that conservation and agricultural work are ideal platforms to teach leadership, interpersonal, and professional skills.
About
Conservation - VYCC hires small, diverse groups of young people to work on high-priority, meaningful conservation projects with professional adult leaders. High expectations, hard work and crew-oriented activities rich with educational experiences draw youth from a variety of backgrounds together to live, work and recreate as a tight-knit community. Young people that may not normally spend time together form strong bonds, understand new perspectives, and learn from each other as much as they learn from adult mentors they work alongside. Crew experiences range from non-residential positions working on projects in home communities to residential experience immersed in Vermont's backcountry.
