Program Background

CorpsTHAT Conservation Corps program was created to offer professional
development and training for young adults. The CorpsThat Conservation Corps
program integrates team-based work projects, education, and professional
training into a program that stresses leadership growth and the development
of conservation work skills. By creating an ASL inclusion crew, Deaf and Hard
of Hearing people have access and are included in the more significant
national service movement. It has the intention to provide young adults with
a sense of identity, job experience, and connections to future job and/or
academic opportunities.

Job purpose

Are you in school, out of school, between schools, or thinking about
returning to school? Maybe you just want to be in a different space while you
figure things out. In any case, the challenge and simplicity of three weeks
in the woods will give you the chance to regain perspective, meet new
friends, and discover new opportunities. Is that appealing to you?

With CorpsTHAT Conservation Corps, you will learn how to pitch a tent, cook
over a campfire, and stay dry in the rain. During the process, you will
discover a new ability to address the unknown and surmount challenges that
will prepare you for life’s next adventure; finishing high school, starting
college, or landing that next job.

Duties and responsibilities

CorpsTHAT Conservation Corps program combines education and job skill
training with outdoor adventure for young adults. With the guidance of
experienced field staff, young adult crew members work on conservation,
reforestation, and recreation projects, while developing leadership skills
and learning how to work as a team. Crews camp in the field for their entire
three-week session, traveling to a new project each week and recreating on
the weekends. In addition to earning stipends weekly, participants make new
friends, learn new skills, explore the mid-Atlantic wildest places, challenge
themselves, and have a fantastic summer.
