Designed to activate the spirit of volunteerism and stir the passion to make a difference in the community and the environment, Huron Pines AmeriCorps: Developing Leaders in Conservation gives individuals the opportunity not only to develop real-world skills, increase experience, and network with other resource professionals, but to have a real impact on the area by completing conservation projects that otherwise would not be done.

With a living stipend and other benefits, this program provides an opportunity to develop as a professional in the conservation community during a one-year or six-month term of service. AmeriCorps members have been placed in northern Michigan and Lansing with a variety of nonproft conservation organizations to assist with volunteer engagement, habitat restoration, environmental stewardship and developing new conservation services.
