Conservation Corps Newfoundland and Labrador is a charitable, non-profit agency with a mandate to provide young people with meaningful work, training, and educational opportunities in the areas of environmental and cultural heritage conservation and enhancement.
The flagship of the Conservation Corps is the Green Team Program comprised of groups of young people aged 16 to 27, who work on an environmental or cultural heritage project in their community during the summer months. Projects include recycling, water quality testing, site remediation, and natural resource management. Other significant programs of the Corps are: the Climate Change Action: The Job Begins at Home program (Home Environmental Audits), the Environmental Leadership Program (Environmental Internships in Costa Rica) and the Alumni and Volunteer Program (year-round special events including public environmental education).
