The Hawaii Youth Conservation Corps (HYCC) is a hands-on set of programs aimed at educating Hawaii’s youth on the many conservation issues that threaten Hawaii’s unique environment. Programs go from short-term summer programs to year-round internships.  Students are mentored by and work alongside some of Hawaii’s premiere conservation leaders while building friendships with other students who desire to protect and restore our paradise. Participants engage in meaningful conservation work to help restore rain forests, dry land forests, trails, wetlands, coastal areas, and other areas.  Members are also challenged to develop leadership, job, and team work skills. Participants work in rarely visited, breathtaking habitats. HYCC is more than just “out of the ordinary”; it’s a chance of a lifetime!

The mission of the Hawaii Youth Conservation Corps aims is to provide a healthy and hands-on educational experience to Hawaii’s youth in order to encourage the development of natural resource managers, cultural awareness, personal growth, teamwork, leadership, skills, and an environmental mindset that participants will carry with them throughout their life.
