Overview
The VYCC provides work crews on a weekly or monthly basis to towns, agencies, or organizations in need of short-term crew services. Crews work on public lands (including private lands with public easements), waters, or buildings. Projects must have a long-term impact, provide educational potential, and/or be high priority. The sponsoring agency will provide a funding match to support a portion of the crew costs for the project based on the length of the program (see How to Pay for a Crew for details). Let us help you sponsor a VYCC crew!
