If you haven't had access to the outdoors but are interested in growing your skills, come learn with us. All crew member positions are AmeriCorps service programs designed to provide hands-on training and experience. Crew alumni often go on to work for land management agencies like the Forest Service or Fish and Wildlife Service, other nonprofits, or in leadership roles with NYC. Training varies, but can include chainsaw/crosscut certification, leadership philosophy, trail construction and maintenance techniques, conservation education, driver training, and more.
