The YCC Group
|
This year, our YCC workers helped create water-wise landscaping for our building in Moriarty. They built planters, laid down rock mulch and wood chips, installed drip irrigation, created a “dry arroyo” to direct runoff from the parking lot, and planted native trees and shrubs. Thanks to their efforts and the support of the YCC program, our location is both beautiful and water wise. |

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. The above information and much more can be found at the YCC website.
The Youth Conservation Corps Commission and YCC Staff offers a $1,500 Tuition Scholarship or a $500 Cash Bonus to YCC Corps members who have have worked with YCC for a total of 52 weeks during the last 4 years with any New Mexico State YCC project or a minimum of 39 weeks for a prorated scholarship to be determined by the YCC staff |
