The Ranger Conservation Corps (RCC) is an urban environmental internship for high school students. RCC participants work on environmental restoration in Forever Wild sites located in our flagship parks. There are two RCC sessions each year (fall and spring), and each session lasts 8 to 10 weeks. The program occurs one day a week, on a school day afternoon for 2 to 2.5 hours. RCC is a great program for students who are interested in the natural world or environmental issues. It is an excellent opportunity to gain experience while working with the Urban Park Rangers. Participants may go on exciting field trips including canoeing, overnight camping and more. RCC participants receive community service hours, and the experience looks great on a college application Interested students are encouraged to fill out an application below and submit it to the address listed. For more information, call 311 (or 212-NEW-YORK outside of NYC) and ask for the Urban Park Rangers. http://www.nycgovparks.org/programs/rangers/conservation-corps
