The Appalachian Conservation Corps is focused on connecting young adults to stewardship of public lands and work closely with the USFS and NPS to create and fill AmeriCorps internships within these public lands. As part of recovery for hurricane Helene for the George Washington & Jefferson National Forest, there are several positions in SWVA that would be a great fit for the Class of 2027. Areas: forestry, visitor service, invasive species management, archaeology, GIS, and more. These positions allow members to get a foot in the door working with NPS or USFS, hands on experience, and an education award that can be used for student loans or continuing education.
