Fall Conservation Crew-AmeriCorps Crew Member
The crew member position is an entry-level role. During their time in the field, crew members camp overnight and serve outdoors in all weather conditions, performing heavy manual labor to complete conservation and restoration projects. Most projects require hiking out to remote work sites for the day with tools, equipment, and a day pack. While prior experience with the outdoors or outdoor work can be helpful, it is not a necessity for this position. We ask that crew members embrace learning opportunities, face challenges, and build community with their crew.Service Project:
SECC fall crews will be based out of SECC’s office in Chattanooga, TN and travel in a crew vehicle to their project site and remain in the field for 9 days at a time, followed by 5 days off. Projects will take place across the Southeast region, including partnerships with the US Forest Service, National Park Service, and other land managers.
Service projects vary depending on seasonal factors and safety considerations. While the staff at SECC and partners strive to provide consistency throughout the season, personal flexibility is expected and should be prepared for when entering the term as schedules, times, and project locations are subject to change per project needs.
