AmeriCorps
About
The Lakes Region Conservation Trust is proud to be partnering with the Lakes Region Conservation Corps (LRCC) as an AmeriCorps host site, currently hosting three half-term members.
The Lakes Region Conservation Corps is a New Hampshire AmeriCorps state service program supporting the mission of eight local conservation non-profits. AmeriCorps members help advance the mission of their individual host site while developing skills and experiences necessary for a career in conservation through hands-on training and service learning. Service opportunities include community engagement through environmental education and volunteer opportunities, to water quality monitoring and environmental restoration, trail maintenance, conservation easement monitoring and so much more. LRCC AmeriCorps are the driving force behind many of the conservation efforts of the New Hampshire Lakes Region and beyond.
