Corps Positions
International Crew Member 2020
This is a Corps Member position for EarthCorps Crew Program. This position is open only to non-U.S. residents. Corps Members work in the fields on teams everyday, learning and doing the physical work necessary to restore ecosystem function to green spaces across the Puget Sound region. International Crew Members will serve from June through December.
This is a 6-month training program for non-U.S. citizens that takes place in Seattle, Washington, USA. Young environmental leaders from around the world will join US AmeriCorps Members to develop skills in environmental service, community building and leadership. International Corps Members are sponsored by EarthCorps on a J-1 Trainee visa.

Crew Member 2020
This is the AmeriCorps position open only to U.S. citizens or permanent legal residents.

In addition to impactful service, Corps Members have the opportunity to grow professionally and personally through training, implementing environmental projects, feedback and reflection.
