The Department of Labor and Industry is accepting applications from political subdivision and state agencies for the Pennsylvania Conservation Corps Program.

The PCC program is designed to provide work experience and educational opportunities to unemployed young adults as they undertake needed projects on public lands in this Commonwealth.

Funds available through the PCC program may be used to purchase approved construction materials and contracted services. Political subdivisions must provide a 25% cash match. The wages of corpsmembers and crewleaders are paid directly by the Department of Labor and Industry.

For an application and instructions, visit the Pennsylvania Conservation Corps Program webpage, call 717-783-6385 or send email to: pcc@state.pa.us .
