Multiple Positions Available

Never had a job outside? Not sure if you like this kind of work? That's okay! Our goal is to support you with the knowledge and team that you need to be successful. We will provide you with hands-on training related to all projects.

All we ask is that you bring your dedication to hard work, a positive attitude, and a commitment to an experience you’ll never forget.

The U.S Fish & Wildlife Service, U.S. Forest Service, National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management and other land and natural resource management agencies have identified diversity and inclusion as strategic priorities. Mile High Youth Corps’ intention is to support these goals by creating more opportunities in the field for young people of color. We believe creating this opportunity is just one of the many important steps in dismantling the barriers of systemic racism that exist in the natural resources industry.

Mile High Youth Corps is committed to hiring candidates with unique backgrounds and perspectives. If you are interested in a position but are concerned that you do not meet all of the requirements or possess all of the necessary skills, or that prior convictions or your background might disqualify you, we encourage you to submit an application anyway.

All MHYC programs are AmeriCorps programs. As an AmeriCorps member, you are joining an initiative that engages more than 85,000 individuals per year in community service. In return for their service, AmeriCorps members receive an Education Award that can be used to pay for college tuition or qualified student loans.
