Montana Conservation Corps is hiring Recruitment Assistants!

Who we are:

Montana Conservation Corps believes that through conservation service work and authentic connection, you can sharpen your ability to create change and join the next generation of leaders for a better world. At MCC, we focus on the growth of our participants, positively impacting our climate and environment, and transferable job skills. MCC is a nonprofit organization that engages youth and young adults through hands-on conservation service and education. Our members work on physically demanding and essential natural resource and conservation projects on some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the Northern Rockies and Plains. MCC offers crew-based and single site placement programming that uses natural resource and community service projects to foster personal and crew development.  Our main goal is not to build trails but to help members develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to be active citizens in their community.  Through a term of service with MCC, participants will learn practical job skills, build confidence, strengthen communication and leadership competencies, and develop the ability to work well with people from all walks of life.
