Youth Conservation Corps is Looking for a Few Good Teens

The United States Youth Conservation Corps (YCC) is a summer youth employment program that engages young people in meaningful work experiences in national parks, forests, wildlife refuges, and fish hatcheries while developing an ethic of environmental stewardship and civic responsibility.

At Valley Forge, YCC crew members learn work ethics, how to relate to peers and supervisors, and how to build lasting cultural bridges with youths from other backgrounds. The YCC is open to young adults aged 15-18 and runs from Monday, June 27 through Friday, August 19.
