A week with the CYC program involves fun, learning and hard work! You will be part of a crew of eight students and have your own crew leader. You will get picked up at a designated school location at 9 a.m., and dropped off at about 4 p.m. at the same location - Monday to Friday.

It's a great week! Monday will be an orientation and team building day. Tuesday to Friday will be work days. You will be working in Conservation Parks and public lands in your community. Work tasks can include building and maintaining trails and fencing, building bird boxes and creating other habitat structures. You will work as a team to assemble picnic tables and clear brush from overgrown areas. All training and tools will be provided. It won't be all work. Volunteers will have opportunities for fun and exploration too!
