Welcome
to the New Mexico Youth Conservation Corps website. Through
this site, we hope to provide you with information about
our program and how New Mexico's communities are benefiting
by putting our youth to work. The Youth Conservation Corps
(YCC) is administratively attached to the Energy, Minerals
and Natural Resources Department. YCC was created in 1992
to provide a process to employ the youth in public projects.
Participants learn employment skills, work ethics, as
well as self-discipline and self-esteem.
Promote the education, success and well-being of the youth of New Mexico through the conservation and enhancement of the state’s natural resources and lasting community benefits.
VISION
A New Mexico where Youth Conservation Corps members contribute to the quality of life of all New Mexicans.
GOALS
Together we strive for…
Healthy natural resources and lasting community benefits
Instilling values of hard work and accomplishments
