From our friends at the Sustainability Institute…
The Sustainability Institute is currently recruiting young people for our AmeriCorps program, the Environmental Conservation Corps! This is an amazing opportunity for someone who wants to learn conservation skills or obtain a career in conservation. As climate change continues to profoundly impact our local community, we need more and more young climate rockstars protecting the places we love!
Do you know a young person seeking a dynamic experience or career in conservation – someone who wants to change the world and serve their community?

The Environmental Conservation Corps is now recruiting several AmeriCorps positions for its award-winning service-learning program. We are specifically seeking young adults (ages 17-24) that are interested in joining a full-time but limited-duration program to learn in-demand environmental conservation skills and at the same time serve their community.
AmeriCorps members will participate in exciting hands-on experiences such as protecting and restoring wetlands, rebuilding oyster reefs, constructing trails in national wildlife refuges and local parks, working in urban gardens, constructing rain gardens, and retrofitting houses with energy and water conservation measures… all while earning industry recognized certifications. They will get to experience some of the most beautiful, most scenic and environmentally-sensitive parts of the Lowcountry coastal region.
As a workforce readiness program, AmeriCorps members will also participate in “soft-skills” training such as resume-writing, interviewing, financial literacy, cooking workshops, and leadership skill development.
More benefits than we could possibly list!
Highlighted Perks: * Hands-on Experience with Established Non-Profit * Living Allowance * Direct Access to Sustainability Professionals & Mentors * Monetary Education Award for Service * In-Demand Industry Certifications * Networking * Access to AmeriCorps Network
We have 12-month, 6-month and 4-month positions available! This a Mon – Fri, 32.5-hour a week opportunity.
