About this organization
Mission
The mission of Montana Conservation Corps is to inspire young people through hands-on conservation service to be leaders, stewards of the land, and engaged citizens who improve their communities. Since our founding, MCC has provided transformative, team-focused and service-driven experiences in the outdoors for young people, becoming preeminent in engaging young people in conservation service as a means of helping them develop as leaders and citizens. Our goal is that each participant leave MCC with an ethic of volunteer service and civic responsibility; strengthened communication and team-building skills; enhanced competencies to be leaders and contributing team members; increased knowledge of the natural environment; and an enthusiasm for the benefits of hard work and quality results.
About
MCC Programs bring together leadership development, civic engagement, and training with hands-on service in the outdoors to develop young people as productive individuals and engaged citizens. MCC helps young people develop vital competencies that build a foundation for achieving success and discover their capacity to lead in their lives and communities. Expenses support three delivery models: An AmeriCorps program for young adults, ages 17 and up, who work a term of service for three to nine months through either our crew model or single placements as Conservation Interns. In addition, the organization offers the month-long youth service expedition summer program for Montana teens ages 14 to 18; and the one-week long program for Montana middle schoolers ages 12 to 14. MCC conducts over 330 community and conservation service projects each year. Projects meet community and public lands needs in Montana and surrounding states in the Northern Rockies and Great Plains regions. Projects involve a variety of conservation work including trails building and maintenance, historical restoration, biological research, habitat enhancement, fencing, biological research, watershed restoration, home weatherization, and community service. Significant accomplishments in 2018 included improvements to 1,571 miles of recreational trails that enhanced safety and access to public lands, treatment of 9,985 acres for invasive and noxious weeds, planting 9,951 trees, repairing or installing 145 miles of fencing to reduce wildlife mortality and improve habitat management, and retrofitting 1,319 homes of low income families with energy conservation measures. Meaningful service projects that result in lasting benefits for our communities and environment ensure a setting in which members cultivate service values and a vigorous work ethic, learn practical job skills, develop as effective leaders and crew members, practice responsible land stewardship, and grow as knowledgeable and engaged citizens. A member on our high school youth expedition commented: MCC means a lot to me. I believe the youth corps is the most important thing MCC does. I didnt have an outlet for what I wanted to do in life until I found Montana Conservation Corps. Another alumni recently reflected on their MCC service: All of these experiences have been amazing, but not nearly as amazing as what Ive gotten out of them. A chance to become part of one of the most welcoming communities Ive ever experienced, a chance to lose myself in work thats brought me more peace than I couldve asked for, and maybe most importantly; a chance to truly become a steward of the environment and serve my community. Theres few things more satisfying than getting to help protect something youre passionate about, all the while helping others experience it as well
