2025 Rocky Mountain Conservancy - High School Leadership Corps Mentor Application
The Rocky Mountain Conservancy is excited to announce that the High School Leadership Corps will host two sessions in 2025. This unique program will provide incoming or currently enrolled high school students (under the age of 18) with an immersive experience in Rocky Mountain National Park. Youth will participate in service-learning projects, development opportunities, and educational programming. The Conservancy hopes this experience will advance the understanding of the natural world, promote professional growth, and foster civic engagement in the next generation of public land stewards. Thank you for your interest in this program! Please fill out this form, and please reach out to aj.lullo@rmconservancy.org if you have any questions. After you fill out the form, we will be in touch to set up a quick phone interview to decide if you are right for the program!
NOTE:
This application is for High School Leadership Corps MENTORS, not Members. The Mentor position is designed for returning HSLC members wanting to step into a more prominent role of leadership within the program. Under specific circumstances an individual that has completed an adjacent program or demonstrates a high level of outdoor leadership may be allowed into this position. If you have any questions about this criteria please reach out to aj.lullo@rmconservancy.org.
