Terms of Service:

Start Date: 10/06/2025 End Date: 2/06/2025 AmeriCorps Slot Classification: 675 Hours

Purpose:

AmeriCorps is the federal agency for national service and volunteerism. AmeriCorps provides opportunities for Americans of all backgrounds to serve their country, address the nation’s most pressing challenges, and improve lives and communities. Environmental stewardship programs help conserve natural habitats, improve energy efficiency, protect clean air and water, among other environmental efforts.

Conservation Corps New Mexico (CCNM)

As part of Conservation Legacy and an AmeriCorps program, CCNM aims to continue the legacy of the Civilian Conservation Corps of the 1930’s. CCNM is focused on connecting youth, young adults, and recent era military veterans with conservation service work projects on public lands. CCNM operates programs across southern New Mexico and western Texas that engage individuals and strengthen communities through service and conservation. The CCNM Las Cruces office manages the Individual Placement Program.

Mentorship

These Individual Placements are unique development AmeriCorps positions. Participants are paired with a local supervisor and gain technical, hands-on experience in the work of these organizations or agencies. Site supervisors commit to facilitate career development; provide an introduction to numerous pathways within the conservation field; and create accessible, meaningful, learning opportunities and gain technical, hands-on experience in the work of these organizations or agencies.

Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge is part of the US Fish and Wildlife Service’s National Wildlife Refuge System. This particular refuge was established as an overwintering site for migratory birds, especially sandhill cranes, snow geese, and ducks. Located in the Middle Rio Grande Valley, refuge staff manage the landscape as if the Rio Grande still ran wild, though it has been channelized and cut off from its historic floodplain. These seasonal wetlands are fairly unique in the middle of the desert landscape. Bosque del Apache hosts thousands of overwintering birds and, subsequently, thousands of visitors in the winter months who come to experience the wildlife phenomenon.

The winter season at Bosque del Apache NWR is busy with visitors, school groups, and active water management. Refuge staff are currently rebuilding connections with the local school to conduct repeated field trips to the refuge as well as trying to accommodate requests from schools all over New Mexico.
