Stipend Volunteers Sought for Chesapeake Conservation Corps

Stipend Volunteers are sought for the Chesapeake Conservation Corps

The Chesapeake Bay Trust is proud to announce that applicants are being sought for the Chesapeake Conservation Corps Program.  The purpose of the Corps is 1) to enable stipend volunteers to work with host organizations and communities throughout Maryland to implement on-the-ground restoration and energy conservation projects, and 2) to provide leadership and training opportunities for young adults pursuing environmental and conservation careers.  Corps volunteers will work on projects in the realms of environmental restoration, energy conservation, agriculture and forestry, and environmental education.

Applications for CORPS VOLUNTEERS, ages 18-25, are currently being solicited throughout Maryland, with a deadline of May 14, 2012.  Successful Corps Volunteer applicants will be matched with Host Organizations by the end of June, with the one-year service term to begin in late August, 2012. Potential Host Organization placement sites occur throughout Maryland.
