The Maryland Conservation Corps (MCC)
is an award-winning AmeriCorps program that engages young adults in extensive
natural resource management and park conservation projects. Managed by the
Maryland Park Service since 1984, MCC provides members with opportunities for
skill development and personal growth through a supportive, team-based
environment, emphasizing the satisfaction of completing projects that benefit
Maryland’s natural resources.
Upon the 75th Anniversary of the Civilian
Conservation Corps, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources expanded the
Maryland Conservation Corps (MCC) to include a new initiative called the
Maryland Civic Justice Corps (CJC). The CJC works in partnership with the
Maryland Department of Juvenile Services and other youth-based urban
organizations to provide conservation service opportunities for Baltimore City
youth in Maryland State Parks.
Please let us know what you think about this service. Questions, comments and suggestions can be directed to the Maryland Department of Natural Resources.
