Colorado is undoubtedly one of the most amazing places to experience the changing of the seasons, and now is YOUR chance to experience those changes up close and personal! A fall season with Southwest Conservation Corps is a great way to miss the heat, learn some beneficial and useful skills, make a positive impact on the public lands around you, and make new connections with others from around the country!

Fall members earn $330/week living stipend, are provided food while in the field, and receive an AmeriCorps Education Award at the completion of their term!
