Purpose</b></p>
<p>
Appalachian Conservation Corps works to connect young people to critical conservation service work across Appalachia and neighboring communities in Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, Maryland, DC, and Pennsylvania. As a corps program, we partner with public land managers to identify, plan, and complete projects that improve public access, habitat quality, and economic development.
</p><p>Appalachian Conservation Corps is a program of Conservation Legacy, a nationwide network of conservation service organizations envisioning a world with healthy lands, air, and water, thriving people, and resilient communities. We aim to engage future leaders who protect, restore, and enhance our public lands through community-based service. We welcome national applicants but also emphasize the engagement of local individuals who represent the communities in which they serve.</p><br>
<p></p>
<p><b>
Position Summary</b></p>
<p>
The Veterans Fire Corps (VFC) program provides training, certifications, and on-the-job experience for veterans aged 18-35 who are interested in entering careers and gaining experience in wildland firefighting and natural resource management. The program engages veterans in a cohort environment to train and complete projects related primarily to fuels management, which may include prescribed burning and wildland firefighting. The crew should also be prepared to assist on a variety of projects including trail maintenance, invasive species removal, and habitat management.</p>
<p>
The Crew Leader II position is an opportunity to make a difference in young peoples&rsquo; lives while completing conservation projects on public and private lands. Leaders will be mentors, educators, and facilitators for young adults, working to promote the health and resiliency of our land, air, and water.</p>
<p>
This crew will typically be stationed at New River Gorge National Park in West Virginia but can also be deployed to other National Park Service sites within the Northeast region. The schedule for this crew is heavily dependent on weather, partner schedules, and varying workload at any given time in the season. We ask members to be flexible and open to changing needs throughout the season. The typical hitch schedule is Monday through Thursday each week. While in the field, crew members work outdoors in all types of weather conditions for 10 hours a day.</p>
<p>
Lodging is provided for the duration of this position. This lodging may vary throughout the season and could be a house or a campsite. Crews are required to use the provided lodging during work periods (hitches). During hitch, the crew will live, prepare meals, and work together as a group to complete all projects and chores. Lodging will remain available for participants who would like to stay on site during their days off, however this is not required.</p>
<p>
The Crew Leader II position requires patience, a consistently positive mental attitude, mentorship, technical aptitude, focus on efficiency, and a high level of competence in the outdoors. It also involves an administration role, where weekly paperwork is due in a timely manner to supervisors. Finally, crew leaders must exhibit the ability to effectively work on dynamic teams and those from a variety of communities.</p>
<p>
Participants are responsible for their own food and transportation when they are not on hitch. In addition to providing food while on hitch, we will provide group camp equipment, tools, protective gear, and transportation between camping/lodging sites and project sites.</p><br>
