Job Description:
TeamWorks isn’t just a summer experience; it’s an opportunity for youth to forge a deeper connection with their community and the natural world. This conservation-based youth employment program unites young people (ages 15-20) from urban and rural areas to work collaboratively on various projects, such as trail building, fire mitigation, watershed restoration, and noxious weed removal. Our goal is to attract and hire underrepresented youth, providing them with the chance to work on a conservation crew. Crews engage with project partners across the Front Range of Colorado, fostering a work environment that is both enjoyable and supportive. Many youth return year after year, forming strong bonds with each other, their crew leaders, our organization, and the lands they work on.
Crews work 10 hours a day, Mon-Thurs, on an assortment of conservation projects including trail building and maintenance, fire mitigation, watershed restoration, and noxious weed removal, and all participants and leaders return home each night. In addition, each crew will participate in a 4 day, 3 night campout once during the season, providing an opportunity to strengthen the bonds of the crew and providing many participants an opportunity for healthy risk taking. Crew Leaders will have three day weekends to explore the beautiful Rocky Mountains of Colorado, which are easily accessible from everywhere we work!
Position Overview: Crew Leader
As a Crew Leader, you’ll lead and mentor a diverse group of 12 crew members, fostering individual growth and maintaining group morale throughout the season. Collaborating with public land managers and non-profit organizations, you’ll coordinate and complete vital projects such as trail building, fire mitigation, and watershed restoration. Effective communication is paramount as you engage with the crew, co-leader, and project partners, ensuring the seamless execution of tasks. Your commitment to safety, demonstrated through risk management proficiency and maintaining a secure work environment, is crucial. The Crew Leader role is not only about project success but most importantly about cultivating a supportive community, forging lasting relationships among crew members, and contributing to the overall mission of empowering and educating youth in their connection with nature and community.
