Position Summary
This Ameri Corps position will directly support municipal parks in Durham and Wake counties. Projects will focus on removing invasive plant species, reducing hazardous fuels, and improving ecosystem health. Work will include chainsaw operations, brush cutting, and other mechanical and chemical treatment methods. The work will be arduous and fast‑paced in areas of high exposure.
Crews are typically composed of 1 Staff Crew Leader, 1 Ameri Corps Assistant Crew Leader, and 4 Ameri Corps Members. Members will gain extensive experience in vegetation management techniques, chainsaw operations, and ecological restoration, while living and working outdoors in a team‑based, immersive setting.
The Conservation crew member position is an entry‑level role. Crew members are supported on a variety of levels, by their crew leaders, program staff, project partners, and Conservation Legacy staff. While prior experience in the outdoors or outdoor work can be helpful, it is not a necessity for this position. We ask that crew members embrace learning opportunities, face challenges, and build community with their crew.
Crew members are an essential part of the crew, working together as a team under the leadership of crew leaders. The crew member is the quintessential “boots on the ground”: being the driving force behind the crew moving forward and completing projects. Crew members are expected to hold themselves accountable to complete project work as requested by the crew leader/site supervisor, as well as working together as a team with their fellow crew members, ensuring a positive, supportive environment in which all can learn and grow.
Crew members are representatives of both Ameri Corps and Conservation Corps North Carolina and should hold themselves to a high standard of behavior, work ethic, and conservation values.
This position will operate on a variable “hitch” schedule, but generally it will follow 9 days on and 5 days off for camping crews. Workdays follow a 10‑hour shift with scheduled time for breaks. While the staff at CCNC work to provide consistency throughout the season, personal flexibility is expected and should be prepared for when entering the term as schedules, times, and work locations are subject to change per project needs.
Food is provided while in the field and crews can accommodate most dietary restrictions. Crews work together to plan meals and complete all necessary chores. Camp chores will be…
