Mission Statement
Conservation Corps Minnesota & Iowa engages youth and young adults in meaningful service, leadership development, and environmental stewardship.
About This Cause
Conservation Corps Minnesota & Iowa is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and AmeriCorps grantee that engages hundreds of youth and young adults every year in programs and initiatives that improve access to outdoor recreation, restore natural habitat, protect waterways, and respond to community needs and natural disasters. We envision a world where everyone has equitable access to nature, is equipped to succeed in career and life, and is empowered to make a difference in conserving natural resources. Your support can provide life-changing opportunities to youth and young adults who want to give back to their community, protect the environment, and engage in meaningful service. In 2022, Conservation Corps members planted over 50,000 trees and shrubs, improved and restored over 17,000 acres of land through prescribed burns, and constructed or maintained over 400 miles of trails. Our supporters help leave a lasting impact on the lives of our Corpsmembers, in the communities we serve, and on our public lands. “My intention was to get some natural resources experience while doing a year-long service term, but I never could have expected how much this year would change me. I’ve learned so much, met awesome people, and overcome challenges I never thought I was capable of. Believe me, I wouldn’t trade this year for anything.” -Madeline Peterson, 2022 Corpsmember Together, we can inspire youth and young adults to get involved and make a difference in their communities and natural spaces.
