Youth Conservation Corps (YCC)
The Aldo Leopold Charter School Youth Conservation Corps will provide paid internship opportunities for our students in accordance with the 2020 YCC grant authorized by the New Mexico Department of Energy and Resources Development.

In partnership with our current team of experienced Youth Conservation Corps supervisors students will have the opportunity to choose from: building two trails on the WNMU campus, installing murals in a number of locations in Silver City, participating in the SiteWatch program to monitor the Dragonfly Petroglyph and the Spirit Canyon pictographs, conducting avian studies and mapping results along a riparian area in the Iron Bridge Reserve, or landscaping an area near our school building and installing a veggie garden.
