Montana Conservation Corps is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to inspire young people, through hands-on conservation service to be leaders, stewards of the land, and engaged citizens who improve their communities. Each year we enroll over 300 young adults from across the country, age 18 and up, in our AmeriCorps Field Crew program, and more than 250 Montana teens, ages 13 to 17, in our Youth Service Expedition.s Our members live, learn and serve together, in crews of six to eight members, in some of our country’s wildest places. They complete conservation projects in local communities, national forests, state and national parks, wildlife refuges and federally designated wilderness areas. Participants receive the experience of a lifetime through challenging projects and the rigors of camp life, coupled with education aimed at creating engaged citizens and lifelong environmental stewards. All of these factors create an ideal situation for personal growth that leads to increased confidence, communication and leadership skills, and the ability to work well with people from all walks of life. Our mission is brought to life through our five core program objectives. Our goal is that each participant will leave MCC with the following: An ethic of volunteer service and civic responsibility Strengthened communication and team-building skills Enhanced competencies to be leaders and contributing team members Increased knowledge of the natural environment An enthusiasm for the benefits of hard work and quality results These objectives are fundamental to all levels of our operations and are supported by a team of dedicated, experienced staff, under the leadership of a highly committed and influential Board of Directors.
