Virginia State Parks Youth Conservation Corps Accepting Applications for the Summer 2012 ProgramOPPORTUNITY FOR WORK IN THE DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION AND RECREATION:
(FOR FULL DETAILS VISIT: http://www.dcr.virginia.gov/state_parks/ycc.shtml) General Overview: Crews typically have 10 members, ages 14-17, from diverse backgrounds, as well as three college-age or older crew supervisors. The crew lives in the park in a structured work program. The crew is closely supervised by professional park staff and committed adult volunteers. By day, crews work on important development and maintenance projects, and after hours crewmembers enjoy recreational activities and learn about the environment, team-building, work life and job readiness. The corps program aims to promote youth development, including disadvantaged young people, and provide a cost-effective way to raise environmental awareness and strengthen the stewardship of Virginia’s valuable natural resources. The program combines work experience, education and life skills within the framework of environmental and community service. Crewmembers receive a $500 stipend for successfully completing the program. Bear in mind that this is not a summer camp. The program is for devoted and driven young people who apply for the program themselves. They should seek their parents only for permission to participate. Anyone found to be detrimental to the overall well-being of their crew will be sent home.

The program targets a broad cross-section of youth, including “at-risk,” economically disadvantaged, college-bound, high school, dropouts and disabled youth. This diversity breaks down traditional social and economic barriers and provides a rich and challenging experience for each participant. A recent study shows that youth corps programs have a particularly positive impact. This program accomplishes what policy-makers of all political stripes want: A program that provides young people the opportunity to serve their state and the community while learning the values and skills necessary for the workplace and personal financial stability.
