WHO WE ARE

The Youth Corps provides opportunities for Boulder County teens to develop a sense of community involvement through personal accomplishment, teamwork and service to the county. Since 1996, participants, aged 14-17, have been completing projects chosen by Boulder County’s Parks & Open Space Department, Facilities Division and Housing Authority, as well as the municipalities of Lafayette, Longmont, Louisville, and Superior.

Corpsmembers are recruited county-wide, undergo a selective hiring process, and are paid for eight weeks of public service during the summer. Participants work collaboratively on teams supervised by Youth Corps Team Leaders as well as mentors from the sponsoring agencies. Participants benefit by learning strong work habits, new skills and the value of environmental and civic stewardship, and in turn the county and participating municipalities benefit from the maintenance projects and tangible products such as new trails built by Corpsmembers each summer.
