YouthWork AmeriCorps members

We are looking for members to join our AmeriCorps crew to work in the western zone of the Hiawatha National Forest on various conservation and skilled trades projects. We’ve partnered with incredible groups including the National Parks and US Forest Services to repair and preserve some of northern Michigan’s most beautiful and vulnerable places. Projects include repairing walkways in Huron National Forest; conserving historic sites and repairing walking paths Sleeping Bear National Lake Shore; building boardwalks in Petoskey on the Bear River with Little Traverse Conservancy; and protecting and preserving pollinator habitats in Manistee National Forest! Some projects are located on islands or other remote regions of the state. Some members may have the opportunity to camp for 2 weeks with their crew while restoring and protecting historic sites and natural wonders! Members receive a bi-weekly living stipend (paycheck) via direct deposit of $1,000-1,400 (pre-tax). Participant’s living stipend is paid in even increments (somewhat like a salary) and totals $4,500 for an entire 300-hour term or $6,750 for an entire 450-hour term.[SS1] Crews are in the field.
