• Typical Project Schedule:
  • Day 1: Monday –Crews drive from Laramie to the project location usually arriving mid-morning (depends on how far the drive from Laramie is). Crews set up camp, make lunch, and get ready to work the rest of the day.

Once back at camp crews will begin to cook dinner and finish any evening chores.

  • During hitch, WCC covers food and travel expenses. Crews will set up their tents near the project location. Camping supplies including tent, stove, cook wear, and water jugs are provided.
  • As an AmeriCorps volunteer position, WCC does not provide traditional Holiday, Sick and Personal Leave time. Organizations depend on the service members and host site programs provide. We ask that members be mindful of the commitment they have made to serve their communities and complete their projects.

Absence beyond four days is deemed excessive and will result in a stipend reduction for additional days missed. In the case of excessive absence, the member may need to volunteer outside of the Corps to earn additional service hours to complete the education award.
