US Forest Service Volunteer Opportunities

American Conservation Experience

Volunteer on US Forest Service projects with American Conservation Experience (ACE) this summer.  ACE is a Non-Profit Conservation Corps based in Santa Cruz, CA.  Projects take place throughout the state.  This summer crews will be working in Lake Tahoe National Forest and Cleveland National Forest performing trail work and fuels reduction.  8 week or longer volunteer positions are available.  Crews will be camping when out on project and housing will be provided when in Santa Cruz.  Food is provided on work days. 

This is a great chance to build the outdoor skills and experience that government agencies and environmental organizations look for.  Many ACE members have formed connections through projects just like these and have gone on to work for the Forest Service, the Park Service, ACE, and other organizations.

All volunteers must be US Citizens or Green Card Holders and between the ages of 18 - 30.

All volunteers must have personal medical insurance for the duration of their participation in ACE.

Start dates are available throughout the summer.

To Apply:  Please send a resume and cover letter to info@usaconservation.org with “ACE Forest Service Project Volunteer - ECOLOG referred” in the subject heading.  Please include your availability in the email.
