Work outdoors, make a difference, and make a better future for yourself at Mile High Youth Corps.

We are a group of young people who are focused on benefitting the environment and educating ourselves on the issues that face our community.

This is not like other jobs. We are a grassroots organization that is committed to providing training, mentorship, and opportunities to youth.

Spend this fall being supported by supervisors who care about your development, peers that are passionate about nature, and a real community. Who knows where this could lead you?

The total compensation including biweekly pay and AmeriCorps Education Award is $6,142.86.
