News Release Date: April 3, 2017 The program consists of two, four-week sessions, June 12 to July 7, and July 17 to August 11. Youth are encouraged to apply for one four-week session. Participants will spend the second weekend at their home, but will camp for the remainder of each session. Glacier National Park Superintendent Jeff Mow said, “This is a fun opportunity to spend time outdoors, in a spectacular setting, while making a contribution to Glacier National Park.” This experience may help students build an impressive resume for college or a career, and demonstrate commitment to volunteerism in the local community. Participants will earn a $200 service award from Montana Conservation Corps for each four-week session. Glacier Youth Corps is a partnership of the Glacier National Park Conservancy, Montana Conservation Corps, the National Park Foundation, and the National Park Service. The Glacier National Park Conservancy will continue to pursue funding throughout the year to sustain the program in 2018. Applications will be accepted until the positions are filled, but students are encouraged to apply early. Visit the Montana Conservation Corps website at http://mtcorps.org/ to apply to be an Expedition Member of the Glacier Youth Corps. For more information, contact Carolan Coughlin at Carolan@mtcorps.org or 406-755-8089. Please indicate that you are interested in working specifically on the Glacier Youth Corps in Glacier National Park. - NPS - |
