After School Jobs for Youth 15-18 with Conservation Corps

Hello!
Youth Outdoors at Conservation Corps Minnesota is currently hiring youth between the ages of 15 and 18 for after-school jobs!
Youth can learn more and apply online at www.conservationcorps.org/youth-opportunities.
Youth Outdoors is an after-school youth job program at Conservation Corps Minnesota. Youth must be between the ages of 15 and 18, live in Ramsey or Hennepin County and reside in low-income households. Applications are due August 7; the job starts on September 10.  
Youth crews members work up to 12 hours per week. With their adult crew leaders, they work on projects in urban parks, community gardens, and natural areas. Youth are also paid for education days which incorporate environmental education, civic engagement, resume building, etc. Youth meet at various Rec Centers throughout Ramsey and Hennepin County. Locations for the fall are to be confirmed, as we try to select locations that are most convenient for our applicants.
We’re especially excited about a new initiative to support youth beyond the fall and spring semesters. In partnership with the University of Minnesota and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, we will work with youth who are interested in PSEO and/or environmental careers to apply for PSEO and learn more about jobs at the DNR.  Youth will have the opportunity to continue working with the Corps in the summer, and will receive Corps and University staff guidance during the PSEO application process and beyond.
I can be reached at (651) 209-9900 x15 or arielle.johnson@conservationcorps.org and am happy to answer questions about the program or position!
Many thanks,
Arielle
