Program Overview
The Young Hoosiers Conservation Corps program is more than a summer job. It is an opportunity to improve your community while enjoying Indiana’s beautiful outdoors. Participants will work with the Department of Natural Resources to beautify Indiana’s state parks, forests, reservoirs, nature preserves, wildlife and recreation areas and historic sites. Program projects are planned at about 100 DNR sites around the state and will include rebuilding 52 structures that have been closed for years due to safety concerns. There are also plans to create 113 miles of new trails, rehabilitate over 1,100 miles of existing trails and restore 2,600 acres of natural habitat.
