Description
Tools to Make a Difference!
The mission of the Montana Conservation Corps is to equip young people with the skills and values to be engaged citizens who improve their communities and environments.
Position Overview:
The MCC is hiring Field Crew Leaders who are ready to make a difference in their lives and the lives of others through an intensive stewardship service program.
Serving as a Field Crew Leader with Montana Conservation Corps will have a life long impact not only for you, but also for the communities and landscapes you serve. With the MCC, you'll discover new abilities in yourself and the enduring self-confidence to effectively lead groups toward accomplishing even the most challenging tasks. In the end, it is your commitment to serving others - starting with your crew - that yields the most satisfaction, and the greatest fun.
Responsibilities:
The intensive MCC Leadership Development Program will provide you with all of the training and practice you need to succeed. The first three-months of your service term will be spent training in 6 competencies: communication, teaching/coaching, service leadership, crew management, technical/outdoor safety skills, and administration. Specialized workshops include a 2-week technical skills field camp, Wilderness Advanced First Aid, defensive driving, and advanced leadership skills. Our leaders practice these skills on diverse conservation and community projects throughout their service year.
Qualifications:
Joining MCC is not a job - it is a serious commitment to national service and to participating as an active learner in a crew setting. We look for applicants ready to put other's interests before their own, learn and support their peer's learning, complete the entire term of service, participate as a positive member, work hard while serving long hours and living outdoors in all weather, respect MCC as a drug and alcohol free work place and lead by example.
