Full Job Description

Position Title: Fall & Winter Conservation Crew Member

Location: Based out of Harrisonburg, VA

Compensation: $600 per week ($500 living stipend + $100 additional benefit)

Terms of Service

Start Date: September 7th, 2026

End Date: January 26th, 2027

AmeriCorps Education Award: $2,817.14 upon successful completion of service term

Purpose

Appalachian Conservation Corps works to connect young people to critical conservation service work across Appalachia and neighboring communities in Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, Maryland, DC, and Pennsylvania. As an AmeriCorps program, we partner with public land managers to identify, plan, and complete projects that improve public access, habitat quality, and economic development.

Appalachian Conservation Corps is a program of Conservation Legacy, a nationwide network of conservation service organizations envisioning a world with healthy lands, air, and water, thriving people, and resilient communities. We aim to engage future leaders who protect, restore, and enhance our public lands through community-based service. We welcome national applicants but also emphasize the engagement of local individuals who represent the communities in which they serve.

Project Description

Crews will meet at the Appalachian Conservation Corps office in Harrisonburg on Monday mornings, travel in a crew vehicle to their project site, and remain in the field for 9 days at a time, followed by 5 days off. Over the course of five months, projects take place across the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests in Virginia to aid the USFS in restoration and recovery projects needed after Hurricane Helene.

During their time in the field, crews perform heavy manual labor on environmental conservation projects in all types of weather conditions for 10 hours each day. These hands-on projects include visitor access improvements, trail construction and maintenance, habitat restoration, invasive species removal, re-vegetation, and much more. Most projects require hiking out to remote sites for the day with tools, equipment, and day pack.

This crew will be trained in and expected to safely and occasionally use chainsaws and other trail tools to complete a variety of conservation projects in partnership with public land managers. The crew provides a supportive learning environment where members work with, learn from, and grow with one another while gaining skills and certifications to propel them into a career in environmental stewardship.

Crews consist of four crew members and two crew leaders who provide project expertise, mentorship, training, and support for the success of all participants. While prior experience with the outdoors or outdoor work can be helpful, it is not a necessity for this position. We ask that crew members embrace learning opportunities, face challenges, and build community with their crew.

Schedule and Crew Life

Appalachian Conservation Corps is an independent, non-residential program. Crews are responsible for their own housing, food, and transportation when they are not in the field. While participants are asked to supply as much of their personal equipment as possible, loaner gear will be available if needed. A gear list is provided upon acceptance into the program.

Food is provided while in the field. Crews work together to plan meals and complete necessary chores (cooking, washing dishes, etc.). Most dietary restrictions can be accommodated if known ahead of time. We also provide group camping equipment, tools, protective gear, uniform shirts, and transportation between Appalachian Conservation Corps offices and project sites.

Members may be required to participate in service projects or events as part of their service terms. Prior to their start date, selected participants are required to complete an enrollment process that includes completing e-forms, uploading IDs, orientation on AmeriCorps prohibited activities, and beginning their background check process. This crew will have mandatory, unpaid leave from December 19th until January 4th for end-of-year holidays.

Appalachian Conservation Corps supports a culture of feedback and growth. Participants will set goals at the beginning of the season and review their performance in the middle and at the end of their season. Participants will also be asked to evaluate the program and their experience. Overall performance will be measured by assignment completion, hours served, and other criteria set at the start of the service term.

Benefits

$600 per week ($500 living stipend + $100 additional benefit)
$2,817.14 Segal AmeriCorps Education Award upon successful completion of a 675-hour service term.
AmeriCorps members may be eligible for student loan forbearance.
Member Assistance Program – 3 free sessions of support with a counseling or work-life balance specialist.
Professional development opportunities (mentorship, resume support, etc.) and exposure to natural resource career paths.

Qualifications

Be between the ages of 18 and 30 (exception for veterans up to age 35).
Have US citizenship or legal permanent residency status.
Have a high school diploma or GED.
Agrees to provide information to establish eligibility and to complete a National Service Criminal History Check.
Must have first aid and CPR certification or be willing to earn before the start date.
No previous experience is required, but general comfort and previous exposure to working outdoors and/or camping is helpful.

Our Commitment

Conservation Legacy is committed to the full inclusion of all qualified individuals and will ensure that persons with disabilities are provided with reasonable accommodation to perform essential functions. Some positions may require periodic overnight travel, non-traditional hours, ability to move across varied terrain, use program-specific tools and a range of technology on an infrequent or frequent basis.
