The Chesapeake Bay Trust is proud to announce solicitations for Host Organizations for the 2015-16 Chesapeake Conservation Corps. This program pairs young adults with organizations that provide hands-on environmental, leadership, and technical training opportunities for a one-year term of service. Host Organizations can propose volunteer activites in a wide variety of conservation areas including community engagement and/or K-12 environmental education. Maybe a perfect fit for a environmental education center who may need some extra support for a project, and has an interest in training the next generation of environmental educators.
