National Parks of Boston Youth

Work outdoors and explore careers in your local National Parks!

We are the National Parks of Boston Youth

About Us

In collaboration with partners, National Parks of Boston offer a variety of opportunities for youth to transform their parks, including two Youth Conservation Corps (YCC) programs, the Historic Preservation in Public Lands Program, and a Civilian Climate Corps (CCC). These youth employment and development programs encourage participants to establish a connection with public lands while equipping them with the skills and resources necessary to be a leader in their communities! Youth participants gain access to a thriving community of partner organizations and next step opportunities within and beyond the park.
