Teen service projects in Glacier National Park
Hungry Horse News | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 9 years, 10 months AGO
The National Park Service, Glacier National Park Conservancy and Montana Conservation Corps are partnering to offer two Glacier Youth Corps Service Expeditions this year.
Each expedition is a four-week volunteer adventure in Glacier Park for Montana teens ages 15 to 17. Sessions will start June 15 and July 20.
Participants will camp and work with a small crew on hands-on stewardship projects, including trails, wildlife research and facilities, and habitat restoration. The 160 hours of community service can be used toward high school graduation.
For more information, contact Carolan Coughlin at carolan@mtcorps.org or 406-755-8089.
