Youth Conservation Corps (YCC) offers participants an opportunity to work in National Park Service sites while learning about the environment, archaeological and paleontological preservation, resource management, and future career opportunities within public land management.

While Colorado National Monument will not host a YCC program for the summer of 2026, YCC is a national organization. There are opportunities at other parks across the country. Visit the National Parks YCC Page to see more!
