Conservation Corps Minnesota & Iowa is a renowned brand that engages youth and young adults in meaningful service, leadership development, and environmental stewardship. Their mission is to create a world where everyone has equitable access to nature, is equipped to succeed in their career and life, and is empowered to make a difference in conserving natural resources. Their programs and initiatives focus on improving access to outdoor recreation, restoring natural habitats, protecting waterways, and responding to community needs and natural disasters.
