Join The Nevada Conservation Corps

Explore the West’s Best Kept Secret!

Picture yourself building a section of the Tahoe Rim Trail, or reducing fuels at Lake Tahoe, or restoring habitat for endangered species.

You will live, eat, and sleep outside for much of the season with your fellow crew members who will become like a family to you. You will be challenged mentally and physically and reap great rewards through the process. You will gain valuable skills and have the opportunity to make lasting friendships with fellow corps members and international volunteers.

Join the Nevada Conservation Corps AmeriCorps Program and make a lasting contribution to Nevada’s natural heritage. You’ll soon be part of the corps world and this is an experience you will never forget.

Sleep and Eat

Participants are responsible for housing. We provide housing resources and often leaders/members live together and our regional staff often helps facilitate/network those connections.

A modest meal allowance is provided by NCC while members are on extended projects out of town.

Other Perks

Benefits include a bi-weekly living stipend, health insurance (only for year-round members), per diem for crew food, and upon completion of your term of service an education award to put toward existing student loans or future education.

Getting Here and Getting Around

Transportation is not provided to get to Nevada. Once you’re here and ready to work, the NCC does provides transportation to and from projects.

If you want to explore Nevada on your time off, we recommend you have a car. Depending on which town you'll be based out of, a bike would be handy.

For Fun

Nevada has unlimited recreation opportunities. You can access Great Basin National Park, Yosemite National Park, Valley of Fire State Park, Lake Mead National Recreation Areas, and much more. Nevada truly is not a wasteland. Join us and explore the West’s best kept secret!
