Leadership Development Crews

Leadership Development Crews offer a unique and exciting opportunity for individuals to refine their leadership skills. These crews are typically small in numbers and composed of college-age individuals who have a desire to become stronger leaders. Becoming a leader is no easy task and this crew experience will challenge individuals to step into a realm of discovery and growth. In an eight-week, residential session, Leadership Development Crews will work in partnership with the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks, and Recreation to conserve Vermont's natural resources. Leadership Development Crews will place particular emphasis on the ability to lead others and take responsibility for all aspects of that role. To face the challenge, visit our Corps Member Positions page.
