AmeriCorps Do you want to make a difference for our lands and people? Are you ready to test yourself? MCC places small teams on diverse conservation and community projects. Serving with the MCC is a great opportunity to learn work skills, develop your leadership competencies, and hone outdoor skills. A robust work ethic is essential. In the end, it is your commitment to serving others - starting with your crew - that yields the most satisfaction, and the greatest fun. Serving with the MCC is rewarding and always challenging. The rigors of swinging heavy hand tools will exhaust your body and tax your spirit. Working out a conflict among crew members takes personal initiative. Teaching a class before your peers requires a willingness to put yourself on the line. If youre eager to invest yourself in a physically and personally demanding service experience, then MCC will place in your hands resources to help you improve your world and your life. This is why we call the MCC experience Tools for Life! Expedition Expedition is a four-week, summer volunteer service experience for Montana teens, ages 15 to 17. Each Expedition session begins with a two-day orientation covering safety, program basics, leave no trace, etc. Your crew will then take off for four weeks of project work. Typically each crew will spend two or more weeks on the same project, and then travel again to a different site for the final project. You could find yourself repairing fences in Glacier National Park, building off-highway-vehicle trails in the Little Belt Mountains, or helping with natural resource conservation on the Rocky Mountain Front. Projects will be a mix of “backcountry spikes” where crews will be packed a few miles into the project site, and “front country spikes” where your crew car camps near the project site. During the weekend you will have time off to get to know your crew and the area that you are working in through recreation, exploration, education, and relaxation. Upon completion of the program, participants receive a service award for their hard work. |
