| Program Overview (from the program website):
The AmeriCorps(A*C) CLDP is a two phase program. The first phase focuses on Corpsmember (CM) experience, while the second phase focuses on leadership development. During the first phase of the A*C CLDP CM’s are placed on a crew of their peers and mentored both by senior Crew Leaders and SCC Program Staff. The crew will be introduced to: conservation projects and technical skills, crew-based community living and camping, outdoor environmental education and SCC’s CM Development process to include goal setting and evaluations. The second phase of the A*C CLDP focuses on direct experience. During the second phase, the A*C CLDP CM’s will actively practice and role model crew leadership skills under the mentorship of the Crew Leader and SCC Program Staff. Members may be placed in leadership opportunities on a variety of projects and crews depending on the region and season in which they are serving. Leadership opportunities may include positions on conservation crews, youth crews, specialized technical crews and/or individual projects. At this point, the A*C CLDP members will be challenged to assist with member trainings, build positive crew dynamics, coordination of member development activities, and project site leadership. The A*C CLDP program strives to provide meaningful trainings to all participants during their term of service. The trainings vary depending on region, season and project work. Trainings may include: Crew Leader Training, SCC-Facilitated Technical Trainings, S-212, crosscut training, basic tread and drainage, advanced rock work, Wilderness First Aid (WFA) and Leave No Trace (LNT).
