ROCKY MOUNTAIN YOUTH CORPS

2024 450-hour AmeriCorps Service Term

Fall Assistant Crew Leader Position Description

Upper Rio Grande Office (Taos)

Rocky Mountain Youth Corps (RMYC) is a nonprofit youth development organization serving New Mexico. We inspire young adults to make a positive difference in themselves and their communities. Through training and service, Corpsmembers discover their potential for healthy, productive lives.


POSITION PURPOSE:

Assistant Crew Leaders (ACLs) play a pivotal role in building successful crews and meaningful programming. They are leaders, facilitators, and communicators, tasked with inspiring fellow Corpsmembers to achieve personal and professional growth. As both a member of the crew and a part of the leadership team the ACL occupies a unique and demanding position. For the right individual, this position is a pathway towards full leadership positions and further opportunities in conservation.


POSITION TYPE: Seasonal, full time, non-exempt AmeriCorps member

SCHEDULE: “Hybrid” crews, meaning a combination of Day work and Spike schedule. Day work schedule is Tuesday-Friday, and every other Monday from 7:00am-4:30pm with weekends off. Spike schedule is Tuesday-Tuesday, 7:00am-5:30pm, camping at the project site. Spike is 8 days on shift followed by 6 days off.

STIPEND: $1240 (before taxes) paid biweekly

EDUCATION AWARD: $1,956.35 upon completion of 450 hour AmeriCorps Service Term

REPORTS TO: Crew Supervisor, with additional supervision by the Upper Rio Grande Conservation Program Coordinator

DATES: August 5, 2024 - Nov 15, 2024 (Orientation training followed by project work. Actual dates may vary due to

weather, COVID-19, or other conditions)

LOCATION: RMYC Taos Office, 1203 King Drive #3, Taos, NM 875715 with project locations throughout the state. Participants

must have reliable transportation to and from this location, according to their work schedule for the duration of

the season.


MAJOR RESPONSIBILITIES:

Crew Leadership

  • In partnership with Crew Supervisor, assist in the creation of a highly collaborative leadership structure with shared responsibilities and input.

  • Help facilitate scheduled educational training throughout the season, while also assisting in impromptu “teachable moments” in the field.

  • Model appropriate professional behavior, environmental stewardship, and work ethic for Corpsmembers; be an example that inspires the crew.

  • Maintain a strong commitment to creating a culture of safety within the crew.

  • Assist with crew function during disaster relief work lasting up to 45 days (if deployed).


PROJECT MANAGEMENT:

  • Serve with Crew Supervisor, Program Coordinator, project sponsors, and organizational partners to accomplish projects in an efficient and timely manner.

  • Assist with leadership of the crew (or a portion of the crew) for project efficiency or as the need arises, under the direction and supervision of program staff. Examples include guidance with proper tool use, assisting with the organization of service tasks like where people are lined out on a trail or thinning project, or helping to facilitate safety discussions with the crew. Assisting with leadership does not include direct supervisory tasks like discipline or timecard approval, which are handled solely by staff crew supervisors or other program staff. Assisting with the leadership of the crew also does not include any unallowable activities. To further clarify this, our member service agreement includes the unallowable activities and we dedicate a specific portion of orientation to what is allowable and unallowable.

  • Track daily tool issues, ensuring that tools are well-maintained, organized, and accounted for throughout project work.

  • Assist in daily preparation of supplies and equipment: first aid kits, vehicle inspection, personal protective equipment.


OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Assist in the facilitation of crew meetings on a regular basis.

  • Assist in reporting requirements and project impact paperwork.

  • Create a leadership development plan to further personal growth and leadership competencies.



MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS REQUIRED:

  • 17-30 years of age as of February 05, 2024

  • US Citizen or Permanent Legal Resident

  • Able to complete entire length of service term (Feb 05, 2024 - Nov 15, 2024)

Experience

  • Experience with, or an interest in, environmental or conservation related projects.

  • Community volunteer experience or a history of service-based learning.

Skills

  • Ability to perform strenuous physical tasks under adverse weather conditions

  • Good public speaking skills to address crews and conduct training sessions.

  • Strong organizational and communication skills, and the ability to be punctual and reliable.

Behavioral Competencies

  • Open to constructive feedback.

  • Flexibility and adaptability. Strong capacity as a team player.

  • Maturity level that allows for supervision and motivation of peers.

  • Ability to take initiative and follow through with project goals.

  • Previous experience with Rocky Mountain Youth Corps or other youth development/conservation organization.

  • Leadership experience with peers, preferably in a mentoring or instructional capacity.

  • Knowledge of tool use and safety.

  • Proficient driving 12-passenger vehicles, and/or 4x4 SUV with trailer attachment

  • Wilderness medicine certification (WFA, WFR).

  • Familiarity with techniques and concepts of safety and risk management.

  • Consistent positive mental attitude.


TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS:
