The Chesapeake Bay Trust is proud to announce solicitations for Host Organizations for the 2018-19 Chesapeake Conservation Corps, a program that provides hands-on environmental, leadership, and green job training opportunities for young adults. This initiative, supported by the Trust, state of Maryland, National Park Service, and BGE an Exelon Company, places participants with nonprofit or government agencies to work fulltime in the environmental field for a one-year term of service.

Individuals will be between the ages of 18 and 25 years at the time of enrollment. Corps Members will receive stipends of $18,000 per year administered by the Trust.
Applications to serve as Host Organizations will include proposed scopes of work which include a range of activities to be undertaken by the Corps Member in the fields of environmental restoration, energy conservation, sustainable agriculture, community engagement, forestry, and/or K-12 environmental education.
