Registration open for CVC Youth Corps

Registration for Credit Valley Conservation’s (CVC) popular Conservation Youth Corps (CYC) program is now open.

Spaces in the program, which allows high school students to earn volunteer hours by participating in environmental stewardship activities, are limited so students are encouraged to sign up now.

This is the sixth year CVC has offered the program to high school students in the Credit River Watershed. Participants volunteer in groups of seven with CVC staff for one week of the summer. The first volunteer day consists of an orientation session at Terra Cotta Conservation Area. The remaining days are work days. The program runs for nine weeks during summer break.

All training and tools are provided. The only thing volunteers need to bring is lunch, a refillable water bottle and a good attitude. For more information and to register visit www.creditvalleyca.ca/cyc or call CVC at 906-670-1615 or toll free at 1-800-668-5557.
