URBAN AND COMMUNITY FORESTRY (UCF) CREW MEMBER – SPRING 2024
Idaho Conservation Corps, part of Northwest Youth Corps, is seeking young people aged 19-26 interested in a jobs-training and educational opportunity, working outdoors while making a positive impact on our urban forests.
Urban and Community Forestry (UCF) crew members complete urban forest health projects for twelve weeks throughout the Treasure Valley area. Experienced field staff provide training and education on urban forestry projects such as tree planting and maintenance, wildfire protection, invasive plant management, and tree surveying. You join a close-knit team of 5 crew members and one crew leader, committed to play a vital role in improving our urban forests and the environment.
The work is physical and rigorous. Crews work in all weather and terrain, rise early, and use a variety of hand and power tools in remote areas. A key focus is building leadership and cooperation within the team. Prior experience is not necessary, and all training is provided, but maturity, teamwork, and openness to new challenges are vital.

Dates/Hours: 2/19 – 5/10/23. Typical hours are Monday-Friday (possibly Tuesday-Saturday or even Sunday-Thursday), 8:00AM to 4:30 PM plus occasional Saturdays, but can vary due to weather, training needs, etc.
Members must complete a minimum of 450 hours of service – including work, training, education, and travel time, a 30 minute lunch and at least two breaks each day. This 30-minute lunch break does not count toward AmeriCorps member service hours.
Location: Crews start and end in the Treasure Valley, ID. Crew members are responsible for arriving at the designated meeting location on time each day (we can provide info on bus and bike routes as needed). Project locations generally include city parks, public lands, and private properties in disadvantaged neighborhoods.
Benefits: Members receive a living allowance of $7,200 dispersed in pro-rated monthly statements, along with receiving an 1,824.07 AmeriCorps Education Award upon the successful completion of the program.
