The Maine Conservation Corps (MCC) is dedicated to environmental education, outdoor recreation and conservation projects, volunteer opportunities, and developing career and leadership skills in young people. The MCC places members all over the state to serve on environmental and conservation projects.
Positions range from three month to ten month commitments. Some members serve individually at agencies and nonprofits to address resource issues and educate Maine citizens, and others serve on Field Teams constructing and rehabilitating trails and trail structures.
The MCC receives AmeriCorps funding through the Maine Commission for Community Service. During their terms of service our members receive weekly stipends, health insurance, and are able to earn AmeriCorps Education Awards to pay for college or student loans.
