Corpsmember Positions

Since 1996, Youth Corps participants have been completing projects for Boulder County departments, municipalities, and towns. Corpsmembers benefit by learning strong work habits, new skills, and the value of environmental and civic stewardship. County departments, municipalities, and towns benefit from the maintenance projects and tangible products such as new trails built by Corpsmembers each summer.
