Immerse yourself in outdoor environmental projects and cultivate a connection to the Northwest, your teammates, and the unique ecological features that define our region. The Washington Conservation Corps (WCC) is an AmeriCorps program that supports young adults (ages 18‑25) and military veterans as they jumpstart their careers in the environmental field. We support more than 350 AmeriCorps members and experienced staff statewide who restore critical habitat, build recreational trails, and respond to local and national disasters.
Most of our AmeriCorps positions are 11‑month field‑crew positions where members serve on a crew of five, led by a WCC crew supervisor. We offer limited nine‑month and three‑month positions in spring and summer. We also offer 11‑month Individual Placement positions, where members serve independently with natural resources organizations. All members earn a bi‑weekly living allowance and an AmeriCorps Education Award once they successfully complete a term.
For the 2025‑26 season, members will earn a living allowance of
$1,455
issued twice a month ( $2,910
per month, before taxes). Members with positions based in King, Snohomish, and Clark counties are eligible for a location‑based elevated living allowance of
$1,582
issued twice a month ( $3,164
per month, before taxes). Benefits for all members include health insurance, access to the Member Assistance Program (accessible and quality mental health services), and three weeks of paid professional training.
Member Duties Three spike crews are based out of Mount Vernon. This spike crew serves with Snohomish County Public Works, Stillaguamish Tribe, North Cascades National Park, local Land Trusts, and other partnering organizations to complete recreational access and habitat restoration projects on public lands. This crew serves throughout Northwest Washington and the San Juan Islands. The crew meets in Mount Vernon, Washington and may spike up to 30‑45% of the term.
