Assateague Recruiting Students For Youth Conservation Corps

Assateague Island National Seashore is recruiting students between the ages of 15 and 18 for its Youth Conservation Corps. This program enables young people to gain a unique educational, recreational and work experience.

Students will work on maintenance projects, repairing damage done by Hurricane Sandy in the Maryland district. Projects will include installing split rail fence and rebuilding boardwalks. Students will also have an opportunity to work with other divisions of the National Seashore.

Those hired will be paid the Maryland minimum wage, currently $7.25 per hour. The work project will begin on July 1, and continue until Aug. 23. Applications are available at the Assateague Island Visitor Center, 11800 Marsh View Lane in Berlin. The center is open daily, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Individuals may also contact Karen Rodney at 410-629-6090 or Karen_rodney@nps.gov for an application.
