Idaho Conservation Corps provides a challenging education and job-training experience that helps youth and young adults from diverse backgrounds develop the skills they need to lead full and productive lives.
Northwest Youth Corps established in and Idaho Conservation Corps provide opportunities for youth and young adults to learn, grow, and experience success. Our programs focus on education, challenge, community, leadership, and empowerment, and typically include epic outdoor experiences in some of the most wild and scenic places on Earth. Our Idaho programs include residential conservation crews for both youth and young adults and an internship program for college aged participants.
Our programs are designed to help you gain the fundamental job skills, experience, and work ethic needed to reach any career goal โ be it teacher, doctor, or wilderness ranger. Our programs have something to provide both a teenager looking for their first summer work experience and a recent college grad needing specific certifications to land their dream job. No matter the path you are on, we can help you reach your goals!
It is important to know that the work you do matters! We partner with land management agencies and like-minded non-profits across the west to complete high priority conservation projects designed to improve the lands and communities we serve.
Typical projects include trail building, fuels reduction, habitat enhancement, stream restoration, and a host of other activities our interns perform, like monitoring bats in Idaho caves! Immerse yourself in the wilds of Idaho. Play a vital role in improving public lands and the environment. The residential Youth Camping program combines education and job skills training with outdoor adventure for 16 to 18 year olds.
