Conservation Legacy - Crew Member
Founded in 1998 to continue the legacy of the Civilian Conservation Corps of the 1930s, Conservation Legacy was born from the commitment to effectively and efficiently support local programming and is dedicated to meeting the needs of individuals, communities and partners across the country through national service. In 2025, Conservation Legacy engaged 2,100 youth, young adults and veterans in conservation, restoration and community development projects, and contributed over 1.2 million hours of service to public lands. Conservation Legacy programs - Appalachian Conservation Corps, Arizona Conservation Corps, Ancestral Lands Conservation Corps, Conservation Corps North Carolina, Conservation Corps New Mexico, Southeast Conservation Corps, Southwest Conservation Corps, and Stewards Individual Placement Program engage participants in conservation and community service projects that provide opportunities for personal and professional development and meet the high priority needs of public land managers and community partners. AmeriCorps members serve on crews supported by program staff and professional mentors. Further help on this page can be found by clicking here.
