COVID-19 Update: Dear Applicants and Potential Participants,
Our crews and individual placements have always been the foundation and driving force of this organization. The safety of our participants has always been our utmost priority. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 situation, we have activated an Incident Response Team and are working around the clock to monitor and manage the effects of the outbreak. Conservation Legacy and its programs are strictly following guidelines provided by the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO) and local public health agencies. If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your program or recruitment staff.
As conditions change, Conservation Legacy policies will evolve—we will post our most recent updates on our website and via social media. Please stay connected for the most up to date information.
We urge everyone to follow CDC and WHO protocols to limit the spread of the virus. We hope that you and your families are well.
In Service,
Conservation Legacy and Program Staff

William, VFC Alumni
Veterans Fire Corps
This program has helped me find the sense of purpose I lost after exiting the Marine Corps; it’s given me the foot in the door I was looking for. This is the kind of work that fills you with that sense of pride again"

Ian, Southeast Conservation Corps
Conservation Corps Crews
My time with the Southeast Conservation Corps and Americorps has been a literal life-changing experience that continues to shape who I am and what I do."

Crew 311
Ancestral Lands
So far, each job we've had has exceeded our partner's expectations. In Tumacacori, they were expecting us to pull invasive species and water Cottonwood trees. Little did they know we would complete those tasks in two days with four work days to spare."

Anthony, Southwest Conservation Corps NPS Intern
Individual Placements
I have worked throughout Mesa Verde National Park. My highlights have been collaborative projects and having the freedom to be outside whenever I wanted. I believe this experience has built upon the skills I already possess while giving me new skills that can be used for a wide array of careers."
