Arizona Conservation Corps
 AZCC operates a continuum of programs from community-based initiatives for younger teens to residential camping crews for high school and college aged individuals along with leadership programs for college graduates and job training programs specifically for current era veterans. Programs are completed in partnership with public land agency managers and are AmeriCorps programs.

AZCC service projects take place throughout the state of Arizona and southern New Mexico and sometimes beyond. On most projects Corpsmembers work and learn together in teams with up to six crewmembers and 2 crew leaders. AZCC has both camping crews and urban day crews and offers a diverse experience for members. Projects include and are not limited to fuels reduction, desert restoration, tree planting, trail-building and maintenance, community service projects, fencing and non-native plant removal. AZCC also offers Individual Placements with regional federal land management agencies.

Corpsmembers earn a living allowance while learning valuable work and life skills. Innately, through the program structure, AZCC places a strong focus on leadership development and environmental stewardship. AZCC’s strengths lie not only in its service project accomplishments, but also in its ability to provide a viable work force to the region while offering exceptional educational and engaging opportunities to participants.
