Subject: NE Youth Conservation Program-job openings What is the NE Youth Conservation Program?
This is a program that was passed by the NE Legislature, tasking the NE Game and Parks Commission to employ at-risk youth (ages 16-20) across the state and provide them life skills that could assist them in their futures and education on the natural resources of Nebraska. It is a six week program and crew leaders will be trained the week before the program starts at Mahoney State Park. Lodging will be provided for those traveling from other locations than Lincoln and Omaha for the training. Mileage will be reimbursed for those traveling outside of Lincoln/Omaha for the training. There are two crew leaders per crew. There are 16 crews across the state (6 in Omaha, 2 in Lincoln, 1 in Norfolk, 1 in Grand Island, 1 in McCook, 1 in Valentine, 1 in Scottsbluff, 1 in Lexington, 1 in North Platte and 1 in Ogallala) with 10 youth in each crew. One crew leader will be more of the “counselor” of the crew and the other will teach them the construction/project work to be done. Crews will meet in the location and travel by van (which will be driven by one of the crew leaders) to various state recreation areas, state historical parks and wildlife management areas nearby (none more than an hour away from your base location). Projects include: Putting together playground equipment (a professional installer will assist for at least 2 days of this), concrete work, tiling work, campground electrical work (youth will not work with live wires and a licensed electrician will be there to assist in these projects), painting, fencing, noxious weed control, landscaping, building of picnic shelters, building of vault toilets, repair work on buildings, some minor masonry work, and potentially shingling of roofs. We are specifically looking for people to be crew leaders to assist on the construction side of things. We will have assistance available at the locations by NGPC staff to show what needs to be done. Protective wear will be provided, along with hats, t-shirts, lunch and other items necessary to work outside. I have attached the job description and where to apply for the position. Please send on my contact information as well for people to if they have any questions. I appreciate you forwarding this on to your contacts! Have a great day! Michelle Michelle Stryker
