Youth Conservation Corps Crew Leader & Science School Instructor

Rocky Mountain Youth Corps


Spend your summer in beautiful Northwest Colorado with Rocky Mountain Youth Corps—where hard work meets unforgettable adventure.

As a Youth environmentaljob.net Corps Crew Leader, you’ll guide a crew of 12 youth members (grades 6-12) through trail building, habitat restoration, and community projects—while camping, backpacking, and living outside 24/7. You’ll mentor young people, create a safe and challenging team environment, and help them grow into confident leaders.

  • Lead meaningful conservation work across 10 counties
  • Backpack, camp, and explore Colorado’s backcountry
  • Facilitate team-building and outdoor education
  • Transition into fall as an outdoor science instructor

This is more than a job—it’s a chance to shape lives (including your own) through dirt, sweat, and mountain air.

Must be able to commit to May 4-October 9, 2026
