What is the VYCC?
The VYCC is a non-profit service, conservation, and education organization. Our mission is to
teach individuals to take personal responsibility for all of their actions. We accomplish this mission
by forming small teams of young people who work with excellent adult leaders to complete highpriority conservation projects. The challenges and experiences that each crew must overcome to
be successful create an ideal setting to develop leadership, teamwork, and communication skills.
Each year, the Corps hires nearly 300 young people to manage state parks, build trails, restore
rivers and streams, and improve community spaces.

A Message from the Chair, Board of Directors
As we celebrate our twentieth year of operation, our many achievements have been made
possible by the generous support, encouragement, and hard work of the youth, families
and friends of the Corps.
Together, we have created a dynamic, nationally-respected organization that has
transformed the lives of over 4,000 young people by teaching them to take personal
responsibility for all of their actions. As stewards of the Vermont landscape, our projects
have protected and enhanced countless trails, parks, and wilderness areas, helping our
state to maintain its unique and precious character. Along the way, we have inspired
individuals and groups to create similar organizations in communities across the globe.
Four years ago, we identified the need for a year-round training facility that would enable
us to strengthen the quality of our training and to serve more youth. We crafted a bold
vision, and in partnership with the Richmond Land Trust, raised almost $2.8 million
and restored the historic West Monitor Barn in Richmond, which officially opened in
September 2005.
I’m pleased to report that in 2005, our generous donors and project sponsors helped us to
reach our annual fund goals. Their support also brought us to within $900,000 of our $3.7
million capital campaign goal. With your continued support and the new friendships we
are building, we’re confident we can continue to achieve our financial goals.
As we enter our third decade of operation, the Vermont Youth Conservation Corps is in a
period of exceptional growth. Looking ahead, the continued generosity of our supporters
remains essential to our future success.
On behalf of the Board, I extend to you our thanks and gratitude for your support.
Together, we will continue to achieve great things!

Corps Member Stories
Our ultimate goal is to be able to offer the Vermont Youth Conservation Corps experience to every
young adult who wishes to enroll. In 2005, we enrolled youth from 97 Vermont towns, who completed
over 110,000 hours of service as stewards of Vermont’s land. However, these youth accomplished much
more than priority conservation projects. They developed leadership skills and responsibility, and
learned the value of teamwork. The stories below are just two examples of the 277 people whose lives
were changed by the VYCC experience in 2005.
“Being a member of a crew is like being given a family. It is a chance to develop relationships with people
whom you’ve never met and who have had experiences very different from your own. You also just get to
be yourself, there’s nothing to hide and nothing to lose.”
-Erin McCreary, Roving Crew Member
John, 2005 Roving Crew Member
Coming into his first session with the VYCC, John was eager and excited about conservation work and
couldn’t wait to spend four weeks living in the woods with a Roving Crew. However, within the first couple
of days John’s attitude turned sour and he shut himself off from the rest of his Crew. He stopped smiling
and was having difficulty being on time for scheduled chores and activities. The Leaders tried to engage and
encourage John but he continued to separate himself from the crew.
When one of the Leaders overheard another Corps Member mention that John was considering getting
himself dismissed from the program by intentionally not following policies, he took immediate action. In his
conversation with John he finally discovered the reason for
his behavior. John was incredibly homesick. The Leader
listened carefully and shared strategies that he had used
when he felt homesick. From that moment on John completely
turned his attitude around. He was always on time and ready
for the task at hand. He invested himself in the work project
and was quickly voted the “hardest worker” by his peers.
John started to smile more often and opened up to the crew
and his Leaders. He successfully completed the first session of
his summer and had such a great experience that he went on
to spend another four weeks with a different crew.
John gained a tremendous sense of confidence through his
experience, and his comments in the end of the session selfassessment capture the essence of his growth, “I believe that
being involved with the VYCC for a total of eight weeks
this summer has helped me to be more open-minded to
a lot of new things and I especially am more patient and
understanding after this experience. I am glad that I didn’t
give up so that I could get all of this out of the VYCC.”

Emily, 2005 Wilderness Crew Member
Emily spent four life-changing weeks as a Corps Member on a Wilderness Crew this summer. Emily grew
up with an unstable home life, and ended up in foster care at the age of 13. By the time she joined VYCC
she had lived in over 10 different foster homes and had recently begun living with her biological mother.
She had also recently dropped out of high school. In the first few days of the VYCC season, Emily’s
attitude was on a downward track and soon she had two “write-ups” and was very close to losing her
position on the crew. After a few discussions with her Crew Leaders, Emily started to realize that they
weren’t being mean or targeting her unfairly; they were simply enforcing the rules. Once she internalized
that the Leaders truly wanted her to have a successful experience, her attitude turned around and she
became a leader on the crew, voicing the importance of the policies and motivating her fellow Corps
Members.
Emily’s focus also changed. Admittedly when
she arrived she was here for one reason and one
reason only, money. However, her transition is best
expressed in her end-of-season evaluation, “The
VYCC is about much more than money, it’s about
meeting new people, building a good community
with people you barely know, and building good
communication skills.” Emily began to enjoy the
hard work and was dedicated to getting the job
done right. At the end of the four weeks she said,
“This was the biggest accomplishment of my life
and I am proud that I finished such a big project
with a great crew and great Crew Leaders.” Her
Crew Leaders said, “Emily went home changed
and had a very successful experience, possibly
the first in years.”

Project Profiles
Quechee Gorge Visitor’s Center
Working with the Town of Hartford, and funded by a
grant from the Vermont Agency of Transportation, the
VYCC spent its second summer working to complete
the Quechee Gorge Visitor’s Center Trail, which leads
pedestrians from the Visitor’s Center to an overlook
at the gorge. Roving Crew 13 picked up where the
previous summer’s VYCC crew left off, and spent two
weeks constructing a switchback trail from the Quechee
Gorge Visitor’s Center to the end of the section of the trail
completed the previous summer. The installation of hardpack gravel surfacing was required to reach a 5% grade,
and the new handicapped accessibile trail is expected to
be used by thousands of tourists each year.
Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge
In partnership with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and
the Lake Champlain Basin Program, the VYCC once again
fielded a crew at the Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge
in 2005. This is the seventh consecutive season a VYCC crew
has completed water quality and trail maintenance work
within the refuge in Swanton, VT. Roving Crew 11 spent the
entirety of their four-week session working on the creation
of a 200-foot boardwalk and the construction of 2,500 feet
of new trail. These improvements will protect the habitat
and provide school groups, wildlife enthusiasts, and the
visiting public with more opportunities to enjoy the lands
surrounding the refuge’s new headquarters building.
Appalachian Trail - Thundering Falls Section
Wilderness Crews 1 and 3 worked on the Thundering
Falls Section of the Appalachian Trail for a total of eight
weeks in partnership with the Green Mountain Club.
The project is part of a major effort to relocate the trail off
Thundering Brook Road, and included constructing a new
section of the Appalachian Trail by defining a corridor,
building rock stairs, waterbars, stone structures, and
hardening the trail between Thundering Brook Road and
River Road in the town of Killington. Approximately 0.3
miles of new trail was constructed, and the VYCC looks
forward to continuing this relocation project in 2006.

support the VYCC is that it provides
an invaluable opportunity for
young people to learn first-hand
the importance of protecting our
natural resources. Time spent on a
VYCC crew gives Corps Members the
confidence, skills, and values to be
responsible, not only for themselves,
but also for their surroundings.”

In 2005 the VYCC moved into its permanent headquarters,
the West Monitor Barn, now referred to as the
Vermont Youth Leadership, Education, & Training Center.
Construction is approximately 80% complete.
Just over $900,000 (or roughly 25% of the project cost) remains to be raised.
“We are so close to reaching this goal! Once
the Training Center is complete, the VYCC
will be able to offer year-round leadership,
conservation and environmental education to
hundreds of Vermont youth each year.”
- Thomas Hark
VYCC Founding President
In addition to hosting VYCC programs, the
facility is available for rent to for large and
small events such as weddings and corporate
functions.
To make a gift to help us wrap up our capital
campaign, or for rental information, please
contact Katey Gordon, Community Relations
Director, at (802) 434-3969 ext 111 or katey@
vycc.org.
The Today’s Youth, Tomorrow’s Leaders
capital campaign is a model partnership
between the Richmond Land Trust, whose
focus is on preserving a Vermont icon and
a structure of national historic significance,
and the VYCC, whose goal is to take the
reconstructed barn and turn it into an
education and training center for youth
statewide.
“We didn’t want the barn to sit like a
museum. We really needed it to be returned
to productive use and the VYCC was a perfect
match. What’s really unique about this project
is that we have a partnership between two
organizations...it’s really a model for land
conservation, historic preservation, and youth
development”
- Jim Feinson, Richmond Land Trust

With contributions big and small, the extraordinary support of our friends
enables each of the youth that enroll in the VYCC to return to their everyday
lives with a better understanding of the importance of education, teamwork, and
personal responsibility, in addition to the knowledge that they have participated
in the stewardship of Vermont’s landscape.
Thank You!
