Second Year Summer Program

The Hawaii Youth Conservation Corps (HYCC) is a summer experiential education and community service program for young people to learn the principles of natural resource stewardship and the importance of sustaining Hawaii’s unique natural environment. Participants will spend seven weeks “in the field” with natural resource managers, educators, scientists and community leaders learning about Hawaiian plants and animals, native ecosystems, watersheds, historic sites, aquaculture, and the current demands being placed on Hawaii’s natural resources. 

The 2nd year program has been developed to place PREVIOUS or PAST HYCC participants in an intense and in-depth summer internship experience. All applicants must have gone through either the summer or year-round internship program and have at least a high school diploma or equivalent.
