Here is your chance to live and work outdoors in some of the most beautiful and rugged areas of the Pacific Northwest!
Northwest Youth Corps provides opportunities for youth and young adults to learn, grow, and experience success outside. Crews participate in physically challenging conservation work across various weather conditions and terrains and engage in collaborative tasks like meal preparation, water treatment, and tool maintenance, family-style dinners and organized educational sessions. Compensation includes a monthly living allowance along with an AmeriCorps education award upon successful completion of the program. All meals, transportation, and camping accommodations are also provided. Many participants view this as a launchpad for careers in natural resource management, outdoor recreation, forestry, or environmental nonprofits. For others, it’s an opportunity to build versatile job skills, explore new destinations, connect with diverse people, and enjoy extended periods surrounded by the stunning landscapes of the Northwest. Previous outdoor experience is not necessary, although you should come prepared to camp in tents for over two months in all weather, work with your hands, and collaborate closely with a small group.
