AZCC's Field Crew program engages motivated young adults, ages 18-30, to complete challenging and impactful conservation service projects throughout Arizona. With both camping crews and local day work crews, there are a variety of units to choose from!

Arizona Conservation Corps, a program of Conservation Legacy, aims to continue the legacy of the Civilian Conservation Corps of the 1930s. AZCC is focused on connecting youth, young adults, and recent-era military veterans with conservation service work projects on public lands. AZCC operates programs across Arizona that engage individuals and strengthen communities through service and conservation. AZCC has program offices in Flagstaff and Tucson.

AZCC Ameri Corps members serve a term of National Service in the State of Arizona and parts of the Southwest on professionally supervised crews as they explore a variety of opportunities for careers in the outdoors, learn practical field skills, and develop confidence as emerging leaders in the field of conservation. Members are provided opportunities to learn and train under the guidance of professional staff within Conservation Legacy while gaining career perspectives working alongside agency staff from the US Forest Service, National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, or Municipal, State and non-profit organizations that work on our nation's public and tribal lands.

AZCC Crews will become proficient in environmental stewardship, general worksite safety, Leave No Trace principles, and outdoor living skills. Most crews receive First Aid training.

Applicants should expect the project schedule and type of work to vary. Generally, crews work an 8-day,10-hours/day 'hitch' schedule while camping in front and backcountry settings. Typically, members will have six days off in the town of the home base office. The hitch schedule typically includes drive time to and from the work site from the home base office.

Workdays will start with a Job Hazard Analysis safety meeting and a 15-minute warm-up exercise. Days will include two 15-minute breaks and one 30-minute lunch.

Crew Leaders (CL) are responsible for facilitating a positive crew member experience by setting an example of enthusiasm throughout work and camp life. The CL works in tandem with the Assistant Crew Leader to communicate directions, project specifications, and constructive criticism throughout the term of service. The CL is expected to complete the project, and Corps member paperwork and professionally represent AZCC in project relations.

The term begins with intensive leadership training focusing on developing outdoor leadership skills, goal setting, technical and field skills training, and understanding AZCC procedures to approach this training with a train-the-trainer technique. Following leadership training, Corps members will join leadership for orientation. This week-long orientation will include Wilderness First Aid, Leave No Trace, Outdoor Living, Crew Culture and Diversity, and goal setting.

Depending on project needs, crews have possible specialized opportunities for instruction in herbicide handling, crosscut or chainsaw use, and safety. Informal training will continue throughout the term with on-the-ground skills training to schools tool maintenance, plant identifies, action, and overview of public land management agencies.
