Arizona Conservation Corps (AZCC) is an Ameri Corps program that engages motivated young adults, ages 18 - 30, to complete challenging and impactful conservation and service projects throughout the western United States. AZCC crews serve in a variety of National Parks, National Forests, and other public areas. Projects may include trail construction & maintenance, habitat improvement, hazardous fuels reduction, historic preservation, chemical and mechanical invasive plant removal, and local environmental service projects.

AZCC provides opportunities for members to learn about the local environment and conservation issues throughout the duration of the program. Selected members are placed on a crew that will then collaborate to perform project work.

AZCC Ameri Corps members serve a term of National Service in the State of Arizona and across the Southwest on professionally supervised crews. Members serve in all weather conditions, working on a variety of projects focused on environmental conservation and habitat restoration. This is a field program; members camp multiple days near their project site. Members are expected to complete project work and practice appropriate safety procedures in all areas.

Commitment – AZCC participants must commit to all aspects of the program, including conservation projects, education, training, and other crew activities.

Safety – All participants are required to participate in a culture of safety on their crew during all program activities by being aware of and adhering to program policies, as well as fostering an atmosphere of wellness in the program.
