VYCC

Vermont's landscape is defined by its rivers, lakes and wetlands. The quality of these waters is tied to the health of our watersheds. VYCC is part of the movement to strengthen Vermont's resiliency by engaging crews on projects that reduce erosion, nutrient pollution and storm water runoff and thereby help prevent harmful algal blooms and aim to restore balance in freshwater ecosystems... Vermont Youth Conservation Corps has been cultivating leaders since 1985. Our programs offer paid, outdoor service experiences for people ages 15 and up. Corps Members build skills in conservation, agriculture and leadership while improving the health of Vermont's water, forests, working lands and outdoor recreation infrastructure. VYCC is a nonprofit organization with a mission to take action and build community by working and learning together with the land.
