Vice-President-of-Programs-and-Operations

Montana Conservation Corps is a nonprofit organization that engages youth and adults through hands-on conservation service and education. Our participants work on physically demanding and essential natural resource and conservation projects on some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the Northern Rockies and Plains. Here at MCC, we focus on the growth of our participants, positively impacting our public lands, and transferable job skills.

Founded in 1991, MCC is a private, nonprofit organization. There are 4 regions, with approximately 40 staff and 450 members who serve each year in leader, member or intern positions. MCC receives Federal grant money through the Corporation for National & Community Service. This grant is used to provide participant stipends and education awards, as well as to support our programming: offering leadership development to Leaders and Members.

MCC offers individual and crew-based programming that uses natural resource and community service projects to foster personal and crew development. While most of the work we accomplish is in the field, our main goal is not to build trails but to help members develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to be active citizens in their community. Through a term of service with MCC, participants will learn practical job skills, build confidence, strengthen communication and leadership competencies, and develop the ability to work well with people from all walks of life.

POSITION OVERVIEW

The Vice President of Programs and Operations is the chief steward of MCC’s corps member development programs, who builds on core program strengths to foster continuous improvement. The VP also ensures that MCC’s conservation services respond to the needs of our diverse project partners. This senior leader guides the program staff, shepherding a culture of learning, care and belonging, while maintaining daily operations and overseeing the professional conduct and development of program staff.

The role implements decisions and translates high level goals into tangible actions with positive results. The VP oversees the preparation, reporting and evaluation of Ameri Corps grants and programs, and supports MCC’s advocacy for national service and other federal or state programs impacting MCC operations. As a senior leader at MCC reporting to the President/CEO, this position works closely with the VP of Finance and Administration and MCC’s other directors to support excellence in operations, finance, HR, and philanthropy, and must maintain good working relations with all MCC staff, the board of directors, external consultants and partners, and MCC participants.
