Purpose: 

Arizona Conservation Corps (AZCC) is an AmeriCorps program that engages motivated young adults, ages 18 - 30, to complete challenging and impactful conservation and service projects throughout the western United States.

AZCC crews serve in a variety of National Parks, National Forests, and other public areas.

Projects may include trail construction & maintenance, habitat improvement, hazardous fuels reduction, historic preservation, chemical and mechanical invasive plant removal, and local environmental service projects.

AZCC provides opportunities for members to learn about the local environment and conservation issues throughout the duration of the program.

Selected members are placed on a crew that will then collaborate to perform project work.

This is an AmeriCorps position. 

 
Description of Duties: 

Roving Assistant Crew Leaders (RACL) are responsible for facilitating a positive crew member experience by setting an example of enthusiasm throughout work and camp life.

The RACL works in tandem with the Crew Leader (CL) to communicate directions, project specifications, and constructive criticism throughout the term of service.

The RACL will expand their role, learn leadership strategies, and assume management duties including filling in for the CL in project relations or completing paperwork when needed.

While a standard ACL spends the entire field season paired with a CL on one crew, the RACL should expect to be moved between crews from hitch to hitch as needed to fill gaps, split hitches between crews, and spend a mix of time in the field and working with office staff to achieve other objectives.

In the event of an ACL resigning, the RACL could be placed as permanent ACL on a specific crew for the remainder of the season.

The RACL should be very flexible in scheduling, travel, and type of work performed week to week.
