Chesapeake Conservation and Climate Corps

Rock Creek Conservancy is a host applicant for the Chesapeake Conservation and Climate Corps program, which provides young people ages 18 to 25 with a one-year term (August 2026 to August 2027) of stipend-supported ($33,280) service. The Corps provides young professionals with experience, leadership, and professional development training, mentorship, and a support network with other young environmentalists. 

If successfully matched with the Conservancy, the Corps Member will be involved in a variety of projects and programs with a mix of work in the office and in the field. The Corps Member will gain knowledge and experience in invasive plant management, leading outreach and volunteer events, leading a summer youth job program, developing maps to communicate our work, and more.
