One of our students, Diego Lopez, was involved in this program this summer:
The Youth Conservation Corps (YCC) is a federal program that provides the opportunity for high school students to make money while working outside, exploring the outdoors and developing life and career skills.
Since the summer of 2021 Wild Arizona has taken on the bulk of the responsibility of running a Youth Conservation Corps for the Coronado National Forest. This particular program is a six-week residential program run in partnership with the Douglas Ranger District. The home base for the program is a Forest Service administrative site located in Rucker Canyon in the Chiricahua Mountains.
