Rocky Mountain Youth Corps 2020 Annual Report

Annual Report 2020 on si is M Rocky Mountain Youth Corps engages young people in the outdoors,

inspiring them to use their strengths and potential to lead healthy, productive lives. We teach responsibility for self, community and environment through teamwork, service and experiential education.

VisionRocky Mountain Youth Corps will be the leader in NW Colorado to provide

diverse opportunities for young people to participate in outdoor based service and education for their growth, respect and responsibility to self, community and environment. We will do this through strong sustainable collaborations with project, program, and funding partners and the creation of a youth development center.

Dear Friends of Rocky Mountain Youth Corps, We hope this Annual Report finds you all healthy, happy, and back to a somewhat normal life!

2020 was a year to remember for many reasons. Here at RMYC, we found the COVID experience to be challenging and stressful, and yet we emerged with greater awareness and efficacy than before. Despite the increased protocols, safety measures, program adaptations and hardships, we were able to serve over 500 youth and young adults through our natural resource internship, youth corps, and conservation corps programs. We were proud to be able to operate at a 95% level to provide very needed outlets, interactions, and experiences for our members. Getting our young people outdoors working together to make our communities and environment safe and healthy gives them a sense of pride, confidence, and accomplishment that has been lacking during the isolation of the pandemic. The demand for youth and young adult programs is at an all‐time high and we are ready to accommodate!

We cannot adequately express our gratitude for our numerous project, program, and funding partners in helping us to rise to the challenge. We truly could not do it without you!

We look forward to new beginnings in 2021 as we embark on our next 5‐year Strategic Plan.

Our four Strategic Initiatives are: Clarify Long‐Term Vision and Core Values; Develop a Succession Plan for All Key Positions; Strengthen Long‐Term Sustainability through Diversified Funding and Increased Endowment and Planned Giving; and Enhance Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Across All Areas of the Organization. We welcome your participation in any of these endeavors!

With sincere appreciation,

YVSS

YAMPA VALLEY SCIENCE SCHOOL YVSS has been a cornerstone of the 6th grade experience for all Routt County youth, both public and private since 2000. 2020 marked our 20th anniversary and after much deliberation, we made the difficult decision to postpone the program until the Spring of 2021. The COVID­19 pandemic continues to require difficult decisions and the safety and well­being of our staff, students, and partners is our utmost priority. YVSS is an essential educational experience for all 6th grade students and we hope to provide a deeper and more memorable experience for this year’s students than we could have this past Fall.

We have designed a curriculum with safety protocols that will allow us to operate in the Spring and Fall of 2021.

COVID­19 swept our nation just weeks before the 14th Annual

Moonshine Ski & Dine We made the difficult decision to cancel the in person portion of the event.

We are beyond grateful that our sponsors, local businesses, donors, and supporters remained with us for the online raffle.

We raised over $12,000 for our local Youth Corps and Yampa Valley Science School.

Youth Corps

HIGHLIGHTS

YOUTH CORPS Youth Corps provides consistent steppingstone experiences for youth ages 11­18. Service Learning Crew (SLC), ages 11­13, a comprehensive community service program that provides education about citizenship, volunteerism, and self development, engaged 103 youth, including continued SLC programming in the Yampa Valley. 123 Community Youth Crew (CYC) participants (ages 14­15) were paid while gaining valuable job and life skills. CYC expanded to Grand County in addition to operating in Routt, Summit, Rio Blanco, Garfield, Lake, Eagle, and Pitkin Counties. Camping throughout northwest Colorado, 72 Regional Youth Crew (RYC) participants (ages 16­18) spent 2 residential weeks working on habitat restoration and trail projects. We also added a Junior Leader position that provided an opportunity to develop leadership skills for youth 16­18 years old in Routt county. Junior Leader participants worked for 10 weeks through the summer with our SLC crews!

Personal Development Highlights

As a result of their participation, youth increased resiliency, self­esteem, job readiness, and leadership skills. Youth Corps education consists of lessons, activities, and reflection focused on job readiness, healthy life skills, environmental education, substance use and risks thereof, and civic and social responsibility. It is designed with continuity, building on lesson content and complexity throughout the age­level crews. Residential camping offers opportunities for deeper engagement in social learning and to connect with non­profit, government, and other local agencies.

Project Highlights

SLC organized 15 parades for two geriatric facilities in Routt County and wrote over 100 letters to the people in those facilities. They built a pollinator garden from scratch at Bee Grateful, weeded/watered Soda Creek Elementary School, built a mile of trail at North Routt Charter School, removed thousands of invasive plants at Stagecoach State Park, maintained a mile of trail in the Sunlight subdivision, deep cleaned all Soroco school busses, repainted the water drainage indicators in Steamboat Springs, dug 50ft of trench around an irrigation pond, and picked up 20 bags of trash on Yampa Street.

CYC Routt County crews supported property improvements at Carpenter Ranch. Lake County crews worked with Cloud City Wheelers to help build a new trail system around Turquoise Lake.

Summit County crews worked with the town of Breckenridge to construct the Barney Ford Climbing Trail. In 2020 our CYC crews completed 84,480 ft of trail construction/maintenance, built 10,560 ft of drainage, constructed/maintained 21,120 ft of fence, planted 35 Pine saplings and 100 Willows, built 20 ft of rock wall, installed 80 signs, hiked in 3 gates and 2 culverts, and removed thousands of invasive plants!

RYC constructed/maintained 14,784 ft of trails, repaired 13,728 ft miles of fence, constructed 1,426 ft of fence, removed 16,896 ft of fence, and built 55 ft of rock barrier. RYC youth spent three weeks working with Colorado Fourteeners Initiative on Mt Elbert, Colorado’s highest 14er and they built trails at Sylvan Lake State Park in Eagle County!

“I really enjoyed working outdoors. I learned a lot about sustainability with camping and teamwork. I think the main reason it was so impactful for me was because of how the group handled challenges and adversity.”

CONSERVATION CORPS Highlights CONSERVATION CORPS Rocky Mountain Youth Corps engaged 175 members, 27 leaders and 3 field coordinators over the course of the Summer and Fall season.

Personal Development Highlights

In addition to wages earned, 156 total participants received AmeriCorps Education awards for completing their full season totaling over $352,000! Crewmembers demonstrated significant increases in resiliency, confidence, job skills, and healthy lifestyles choices.

Project Highlights

Highlights included the completion of a four­year project in partnership with the Colorado Fourteeners Initiative (CFI) and the National Forest Foundation rerouting portions of the South Mt Elbert trail. Crews worked diligently to create a more sustainable route to the summit of Colorado’s highest mountain and one of the most popular 14,000 ft peaks in the US Rockies.

The project featured restoration of the existing old trail in addition to cutting new hiking tread for the reroute and fortifying steep sections with rock retaining walls and staircases to prevent soil displacement and erosion. The crew was lauded by CFI project partner Loretta McEllhiney, as “one of the best youth corps crews we have worked with in our 26 years of working on the 14ers." Project partners reported that crew leaders were highly communicative, eager to learn, and super motivated, which influenced the work culture of the entire crew.

RMYC’s Wildfire and Chainsaw crew was engaged in a multitude of roles on the Middle Fork Fire including but not limited to indirect hand line construction, snagging operations, fire effects monitoring, mapping and scouting. In addition to fire suppression efforts, fire resources and the incident command team provided ample opportunities for training and exposure to a wide variety of fire fighting career paths. Crew members toured the Middle Fork Helibase, visited the local Colorado Division of Fire Control and Prevention Office, learned about unmanned aerial systems and gained technical and professional knowledge from a wide array of incident personnel. Crew members also aided the Incident Command Post with logistics and provided public outreach and information to concerned citizens on trailheads entering the southern Zirkel Wilderness.

I’ve grown, learned, and worked harder than I ever have in my life. I’ve had some of my highest highs paired with some of my biggest challenges and I can’t thank my incredible crew, my wonderful Assistant Crew Leader, and all the other folks at RMYC enough for making this summer one of the best.”

"RMYC has significantly developed my leadership, risk management, communication, problem solving, interpersonal, logistics, and organization skills.

My tolerance for adversity has also been elevated from this program."

NATURAL RESOURCE

INTERNSHIP

Program

Despite the challenges presented by COVID­19 we were still able to provide meaningful hands­on educational opportunities for 30 individuals. Positions included Archaeology, Hydrology, Wilderness Characteristics Surveying, Fluid Minerals, Visitor Information Services, Vegetation and Soils Assessment, Inventory, and Monitoring (AIM), and Survey/Cadastral assignments in collaboration with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM); and a Wilderness Trails Crew, Vail Pass Winter Recreation Crew, and a Veteran Fire Corps Crew with the United States Forest Service (USFS).

One of our Vegetation and Soils Assessment, Inventory, and Monitoring interns, Franki Anaya, successfully secured a position with the BLM in Kremmling, CO and is now leading a crew of RMYC interns. It is wonderful to see the career development continuum in the Natural Resource field and RMYC is thrilled to continue collaborating with Frankie in this new capacity.

“RMYC truly makes decisions that uphold their vision and mission. I was hired during an unprecedented pandemic and the knowledge I gained was directly relevant to my major, so thank you to the RMYC staff for providing me with an opportunity to learn and grow. I have already noticed other career avenues opening up for me.” ­ John Roberts, Oil and Gas Reclamation Intern

Macy Perrin

RMYC CORPSMEMBER OF THE YEAR

Macy Perrin first came to RMYC in 2019 and has completed 10 weeks of work with RMYC’s Youth Corps over the last 2 years. Macy came out to the community as a person who uses they/them pronouns towards the end of 2020. This level of vulnerability, strength, and sense of self worth is something we can all strive for! Macy was born and raised in Northwest Colorado and joined the corps because they have always been drawn to nature and believed that opportunity "literally just seemed like the coolest thing ever!” Macy continued working with RMYC because of the experiences and the way it helped them grow as a person. Macy feels that they have life­ long friends built from this experience and that it was never about the money; they would pay to do something like this!

Macy felt that the embrace and support from crewmates and their Crew Leader helped them overcome social anxiety and gain more confidence in themselves through their Corps experience at RMYC. All the support contributed to Macy’s decision about being open about their identity.

Macy's leaders and staff agreed and saw their growth, honoring them with multiple notice's of exemplary performance for the leadership and teamwork demonstrated with crew members, work ethic, motivation, and having a positive outlook and growth mindset through some incredibly challenging interpersonal happenings on crew. Macy “ALWAYS volunteered for dish duty and was the first to offer support on technical skills and personal support to struggling peers.” Macy noted that "I didn't even need to try staying positive because it was natural.

I had a good attitude about manual labor, and always expressed how awesome it is that we were getting paid to camp. SO COOL!"
