Rocky Mountain Youth Corps (RMYC) is a stepping-stone to new opportunities. We inspire young adults to make a positive difference in themselves and their communities. Through training and service, Corpmembers discover their potential for healthy, productive lives. RMYC AmeriCorps crews partner with public land management agencies, local municipalities, state departments and others to revitalizes communities, preserve and restore the environment, prepare young people for responsible, positive lives and build civic spirit through service.
VetCorps is a partnership between Not Forgotten Outreach and Rocky Mountain Youth Corps to give veterans and military family members a second mission: provide sustainable, locally grown vegetables to children and the community. Through fulfillment of the second mission, VetCorps members use agriculture as ecotherapy while learning about horticulture, sustainability, and successful business practices.
