Audubon Vermont is collaborating with the Vermont Youth Conservation Corps (VYCC) to integrate our work in bird and habitat conservation into training programs for VYCC crew leaders and work crews. We will share our work with the hundreds of young adults the VYCC engages each year and explore ways Audubon and the VYCC can offer shared career development opportunities between the two organizations.
"VYCC believes young people change the world. VYCC makes it their mission to help them do this by teaching young people personal responsibility through meaningful work that connects us to the land, community, and one another."
Audubon Vermont is pairing with VYCC's conservation program to illuminate the natural history of the places they are working. VYCC's conservation crews are small teams of young people who tackle projects that benefit Vermont’s people and land.
VYCC Conservation Crews:
- Build and maintain trails,
- Improve wildlife habitat,
- Improve state park facilities, and
- Reduce erosion and improve the health of our waterways.
