About Conservation Corps North Carolina

Conservation Corps North Carolina (CCNC) is a corps program based out of Raleigh, NC. CCNC moves forward from the tradition of the Civilian Conservation Corps to engage young people in conservation service projects. CCNC is a program of Conservation Legacy.

Our program strives to cultivate a new generation of local land stewards. We partner with land managers to accomplish impactful and lasting conservation service projects. CCNC works to build and support sustainable public access, historical interpretation and ecological health. We run as a fee-for-service crew and we are willing to collaborate with land managers to find project funding.

Why Work here

We provide an opportunity for young adults to do meaningful work on our public lands. Serving on a conservation crew is an immersive experience. Days filled with sweat, mud, hard work and beautiful country are all part of the job. The effort pays off when CCNC participants come out of the field feeling strong, confident and passionate for the outdoors and their work. CCNC will reach out to local young adults for local projects. Participants will receive a bi-weekly living allowance and an AmeriCorps education award.
