A unique opportunity for youth to serve and learn

The Western Colorado Conservation Corps (WCCC) is a program of Mesa County Partners, a nonprofit organization based in Grand Junction, Colorado. As a 21st Century Conservation Corps, we are accredited by the Colorado Youth Corps Association (CYCA) and The Corps Network (TCN) and we work with AmeriCorps to provide education awards for our AmeriCorps Members. We work closely with land managers in scenic western Colorado including, Mesa, Delta, Montrose, and Gunnison Counties to collaborate on land improvement projects.

WCCC Corps members serve in teams of 8 to 12, including one Crew Leader and two Assistant Crew Leaders. In partnership with land management agencies WCCC AmeriCorps Members work on projects such as: building and maintaining trails, fuel mitigation, fence construction and maintenance, invasive species removal, and habitat restoration.
