Work outdoors, make a difference, and make a better future for yourself at Mile High Youth Corps. We are a group of young people who are focused on benefitting the environment and educating ourselves on the issues that face our community. This is not like other jobs. We are a grassroots organization that is committed to providing training, mentorship, and opportunities to youth. Spend a summer being supported by supervisors who care about your development and peers that are passionate about nature.

Summary

Join us for our 2022 Summer of Service (SOS) program! SOS is a team-based, 12 or 14 week-long program for individuals between the ages 18-24. SOS participants (called Corpsmembers) serve on environmental stewardship projects on public lands throughout the Denver metro area. Corpsmembers will be enrolled in AmeriCorps—a national community service program. This means, get paid $960 biweekly while doing what you love and earn a scholarship at the same time!

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 a year you’ll never forget.
