CONSERVATION - VYCC HIRES SMALL, DIVERSE GROUPS OF YOUNG PEOPLE TO WORK ON HIGH-PRIORITY, MEANINGFUL CONSERVATION PROJECTS WITH PROFESSIONAL ADULT LEADERS. HIGH EXPECTATIONS, HARD WORK AND CREW-ORIENTED ACTIVITIES RICH WITH EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES DRAW YOUTH FROM A VARIETY OF BACKGROUNDS TOGETHER TO LIVE, WORK AND RECREATE AS A TIGHT-KNIT COMMUNITY. YOUNG PEOPLE THAT MAY NOT NORMALLY SPEND TIME TOGETHER FORM STRONG BONDS, UNDERSTAND NEW PERSPECTIVES, AND LEARN FROM EACH OTHER AS MUCH AS THEY LEARN FROM ADULT MENTORS THEY WORK ALONGSIDE. CREW EXPERIENCES RANGE FROM NON-RESIDENTIAL POSITIONS WORKING ON PROJECTS IN HOME COMMUNITIES TO RESIDENTIAL EXPERIENCE IMMERSED IN VERMONT'S BACKCOUNTRY.
