End Date:

AmeriCorps Slot Classification:

450

Hours Purpose:

Arizona Conservation Corps (AZCC) is an AmeriCorps program that engages motivated young adults, ages 18

• 30, to complete challenging and impactful conservation and service projects throughout the western United States.

AZCC crews serve in a variety of National Parks, National Forests, and other public areas. Projects may include trail construction & maintenance, habitat improvement, hazardous fuels reduction, historic preservation, chemical and mechanical invasive plant removal, and local environmental service projects. AZCC provides opportunities for members to learn about the local environment and conservation issues throughout the duration of the program. Selected members are placed on a crew that will then collaborate to perform project work. The Veterans Fire Corps crew aims to retrain recent era military veterans for careers in conservation, fuels mitigation, and wildland firefighting. VFC programs accomplish this goal by immersing participants in a conservation crew experience.

Description of Duties:

Assistant Crew Leaders (ACL) are responsible for facilitating a positive crew member experience by setting an example of enthusiasm throughout work and camp life. The ACL works in tandem with the Crew Leader (CL) to communicate directions, project specifications, and constructive criticism throughout the term of service. The ACL will expand their role, learn leadership strategies, and assume management duties including filling in for the CL in project relations or completing paperwork when needed. The Veterans Fire Corps is a multi-faceted and demanding crew, but with an opportunity for enormous rewards. Successful candidates will demonstrate high standards, compassion, excellent judgement, effective communication skills, initiative, and the desire to devote themselves (at least seasonally) to working alongside other military veterans, ages 18-35, in an environmental setting. The crew will work together and maintain a flexible, positive, and professional attitude. The program engages participants in a cohort environment in which a team of recent-era military veterans work together to train and complete natural resource management projects, specifically related to fire fuels management and fuels reduction using chainsaws. This crew assists recent-era veterans in their transition from military to civilian careers. Participants must be a military veteran, provide a copy of a valid DD-214, or relevant discharge paperwork, and be able to pass a USFS Pack Test at the "arduous" level (3 mile walk with 45-pound pack in 45 minutes).

Program Expectations:

Commitment

• AZCC participants must commit to all aspects of the program, including conservation projects, education, training, and other crew activities. Safety
• All participants are required to participate in a culture of safety on their crew during all program activities by being aware of and adhering to program policies, as well as fostering an atmosphere of wellness in the program. Professionalism
• Participants must be willing to follow all AZCC policies, maintain professional boundaries, and appropriately represent AZCC. Teamwork
• Members must be willing to engage in collaboration, respect others, and assist in making group decisions. Technology

• Participants MUST be willing and able to refrain from alcohol and drugs while participating in the AZCC program.
