The mission of Rocky Mountain Youth Corps
is to recognize and engage the strengths and potential of youth through
team service in schools, the environment and communities of north
central New Mexico. RMYC is a stepping stone to new opportunities.
RMYC AmeriCorps activities fall into three program components: Education
Crews, Field Crews and Corpsmember Learning.
In the Education Program, youth in grades K-8 are
beneficiaries of mentoring facilitated by RMYC AmeriCorps Members. The
target population is students in schools throughout Taos County.
Field Crews complete community service projects
in the areas of public safety and environmental restoration, focusing on
trail and recreation facility development and wildfire prevention.
All RMYC AmeriCorps Members are involved in their
own growth and development, and participate in community service events
throughout the year. Service days encourage Members and volunteers to
broaden their background in citizenship and community engagement
Currently serving the
communities of Taos, Rio Arriba, Coalfax and Mora Counties.
