At Conservation Corps Minnesota & Iowa (CCMI), youth (ages 15-18) and young adults (ages 18-35) grow as environmental stewards and leaders while giving back to the community through meaningful service. CCMI is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and AmeriCorps grantee that engages hundreds of youth and young adults each year in programs and initiatives that improve access to outdoor recreation, restore natural habitat, protect waterways, and respond to community needs and natural disasters. All Conservation Corps programs devote 20 percent of program time to technical skills training, career-building skills such as resume writing and interviewing, and educational activities focused on environmental science and technology. Using scientific inquiry and experiential learning, Conservation Corps inspires youth and young adults to learn more about the world around them and think critically about the impact of their personal choices on the environment and their community. Our mission is to engage youth and young adults in meaningful service, leadership development, and environmental stewardship. Our vision is a world where everyone has equitable access to nature, is equipped to succeed in career and life, and is empowered to make a difference in conserving natural resources. Our values are safety, service, respect, equity, and community.
