Experience 0 - 1 year Save Job Facebook Email Copy URL Position Title: CCNC Crew Member (Western NC Office)-AmeriCorps Conservation Legacy Program: Conservation Corps North Carolina Site Location: Based out of Western, North Carolina with service projects throughout the region Terms of Service: Start Date: 06/02/2026 End Date: 08/19/2026 AmeriCorps Slot Classification: 300 Hours (Season end dates may vary depending on crew assignment, project timelines, and organizational needs. Final service dates will be confirmed upon placement) Purpose: The mission of Conservation Corps North Carolina (CCNC) as an AmeriCorps program is to empower young adults through meaningful outdoor work that benefits North Carolina's land and water and creates healthy communities. CCNC is a program of Conservation Legacy that partners with public land managers in North Carolina to engage motivated young adults (ages 18-30) to complete challenging and impactful conservation service projects throughout the region. Projects may include trail construction & maintenance, habitat improvement, hazard fuel reduction, and ecological restoration. Crews may also complete technical and/or specialized projects depending on project partner needs, including disaster relief if the opportunity arises. Description of Duties: The Conservation crew member position is an entry-level role. Crew members are supported on a variety of levels, by their crew leaders, program staff, project partners, and Conservation Legacy staff. While prior experience in the outdoors or outdoor work can be helpful, it is not a necessity for this position. We ask that crew members embrace learning opportunities, face challenges, and build community with their crew. Crew members are an essential part of the crew, working together as a team under the leadership of crew leaders. The crew member is the quintessential boots on the ground: being the driving force behind the crew moving forward and completing projects. Crew members are expected to hold themselves accountable to complete project work as requested by the crew leader/site supervisor, as well as working together as a team with their fellow crew members, ensuring a positive, supportive environment in which all can learn and grow. Crew members are representatives of both AmeriCorps and Conservation Corps North Carolina and should hold themselves to a high standard of behavior, work ethic, and conservation values. Position Summary: This AmeriCorps position will directly support Hurricane Helene disaster recovery and long-term land stewardship efforts across western North Carolina, including work on the national forests and surrounding public lands. Crew members will complete a variety of conservation and restoration projects aimed at reopening storm-impacted areas, improving ecosystem health, and restoring safe public access. Project assignments may vary by crew type and season and can include trail construction and maintenance, ecological restoration and botany work, hazardous fuel reduction, and general conservation activities. Depending on crew placement, members may use chainsaws and other mechanical tools, participate in vegetation management and invasive species removal, or focus on trail tread, drainage, and structural features. Crew members should expect physically demanding work on rugged, uneven terrain in inclement weather. Projects may involve steep slopes, remote locations, high exposure, and fast-paced workdays. Some crews will perform technical and advanced cutting operations. Required certifications (such as chainsaw operation and Wilderness First Aid) will vary by crew assignment and will be provided or required as appropriate. Crews are typically composed of 1 Staff Crew Leader, 1 AmeriCorps Assistant Crew Leader, and 4 AmeriCorps Members. Members will gain extensive experience in vegetation management techniques, chainsaw operations, and ecological restoration, while living and working outdoors in a team-based, immersive setting. This position will operate on a variable hitch schedule of 9 days on and 5 days off for camping crews. Workdays follow a 10-hour shift with scheduled time for breaks. While the staff at CCNC work to provide consistency throughout the season, personal flexibility is expected and should be prepared for when entering the term as schedules, times, and work locations are subject to change per project needs. Food is provided while in the field and crews can accommodate most dietary restrictions. Crews work together to plan meals and complete all necessary chores. Camp chores will be completed every evening, with many evenings including group discussions on conservation topics. CCNC supports a culture of feedback and growth. Crew Members will set goals at the beginning of the season and review their performance through both self-evaluation and a review with their Crew Leader in the middle and at the end of their season. Evaluations will cover topic areas including Professionalism, Responsibility, Leadership, Communication, Community Engagement, Project Work, Safety, Organization, and Equipment. Crew Members will also be asked to evaluate their Crew Leaders' performance, the overall program, and their experience at the end of their term. Project Work Project types may include, but are not limited to: Reopening and repairing storm-impacted trail corridors and restoring public access Trail construction and maintenance, including tread work, drainage features, steps, retaining walls, and erosion control Clearing hazard trees, blowdowns, and debris in Hurricane Helene-impacted areas Hazard fuel reduction and vegetation management using chainsaws, brush cutters, hand saws, loppers, and hand tools Removal of invasive, non-native plant species and support of botany-focused projects Timber stand improvement and other ecological restoration techniques Rough carpentry, including bridge and boardwalk repair or installation Expectations: CCNC is an independent, non-residential program. Crew Members are responsible for their own housing, food, and transportation when not in the field unless otherwise specified. Some equipment is available to borrow throughout the season, but Crew Members are asked to supply as much of their own personal outdoor gear (day pack, work pants, hiking/work boots, etc.) as possible. A gear list is provided upon acceptance into the program. CCNC will provide group equipment, tools, protective gear, and transportation between Bahama, NC and project sites. Crew Members are asked to work hard, stay positive, and be flexible with changing schedules, weather conditions, and project needs. This is a seasonal position; Crew Members are asked to fully commit to the experience, expectations, and timeline. Once Crew Members are selected and prior to their start date, they are required to complete an online enrollment process that includes completing e-forms, uploading IDs, enrolling with AmeriCorps, and beginning their background check process. For those with limited access to online platforms, accommodations may be available and can be discussed during the interview process. Participation and Expedition Behavior: Work effectively as a member of a team despite potentially stressful and difficult conditions. This may require problem solving on an interpersonal or group level as well as a willingness to accept differences. Contribute to a safe learning environment; no harassment of others for any reason.

You must be able to do so at a distance of up to 50 meters and in conditions with limited visibility or loud background noise such as darkness or high winds.

These directions may be given before the hazard is encountered or may need to be given during exposure to the hazard. Stay alert and focused for several hours at a time while traveling and working in varied weather conditions. Perceive and comprehend significant and apparent hazards, including those hazards previously identified by others. Respond appropriately to stress or crises.

Additionally, remain adequately hydrated, fed, and properly dressed so as to remain generally healthy and safe, avoiding environmental injuries. Live in a physically demanding, possibly remote environment for an uninterrupted period of up to several weeks.
