The mission of Montana Conservation Corps is to inspire young people through hands-on conservation service to be leaders, stewards of the land, and engaged citizens who improve their communities. Since our founding, MCC has provided transformative, team-focused and service-driven experiences in the outdoors for young people, becoming preeminent in engaging young people in conservation service as a means of helping them develop as leaders and citizens. Our goal is that each participant leave MCC with an ethic of volunteer service and civic responsibility; strengthened communication and team-building skills; enhanced competencies to be leaders and contributing team members; increased knowledge of the natural environment; and an enthusiasm for the benefits of hard work and quality results.
