Word of Thanks with Kyle Clark: Support Southwest Conservation Corps

Right now, Southwest Conservation Corps faces a $46,000 funding gap due to federal budget uncertainty—putting our summer youth crews at risk. Without this support, young people will lose the chance to gain life-changing skills while Colorado’s public lands go without critical restoration work.
