Individual Placement Positions
Individual Placements Opportunities
Southwest Conservation Corps' Individual Placements Program pairs college students, recent graduates, and young adults with resource managers and places them within federal agencies and other non-profit organizations. The resource managers serve a mentor role, creating accessible learning opportunities and experiences throughout the individual's term.
Individual placements run anywhere from 8 to 52 weeks in duration at locations throughout Colorado and New Mexico. Each placement offers a unique opportunity for immersive training, career development, and positive impact - for both the Individual Placement, and the communities they serve. Upon successful completion of their term, placements participating as AmeriCorps Members receive an education award totaling $1,300 - $6,300 (depending on the length of their service).
