Volunteer Opportunities & Events
with the MCC & Partners
The Maine Conservation Corps welcomes volunteers to join our Field Teams & Environmental Educators on projects throughout the state. Individuals and groups are invited to help out with projects like trail construction & maintenance, watershed surveys, invasive species removal, and many other conservation efforts.
The volunteer opportunities on the calendar below are color-coordinated by program. Field Team opportunities are in blue and Environmental Educator opportunities are in green. Events from both programs are in pink, as are events and volunteer opportunities offered by our partners, and these include activities like community hikes, informational sessions, outreach events, and MCC application deadlines.
Volunteers under the age of 18 will need a parent or guardian to sign their Volunteer Card. To volunteer without an accompanying adult, children must be at least 16 years old. MCC volunteers without their own health insurance can be covered during their volunteer service by the MCC's SERVE/Maine Accident Insurance Policy. To be covered by the policy, volunteers must be at least 14 years old.
