Conservation Crew Supervisor; Albuquerque

Rocky Mountain Youth Corps

2027 Adult Crew Supervisor Position Description

Middle Rio Grande Office (Albuquerque)

Rocky Mountain Youth Corps (RMYC) is a nonprofit youth development organization serving New Mexico. We inspire young adults to make a positive difference in themselves and their communities. Through training and service, Corps members discover their potential for healthy, productive lives.

Crew Supervisors are RMYC field-based staff who manage the day-to-day operations of crews of youth and young adults, and are integral to the fulfillment of RMYC's mission. The Crew Supervisor will manage a diverse crew of participants between the ages of 17 to 30 in the safe and efficient completion of conservation projects outdoors, while providing structured opportunities for personal and professional development throughout this season.

Often working under minimal supervision, Crew Supervisors exercise discretion and independent judgment on matters relating to the safety, well-being, and performance of crew members in the field. Crew supervisors are trained, empowered, and expected to enforce RMYC and Ameri Corps policies and expected behavior of Corps members in office and the field.
