Become a Green Corps participant
Green Corp is a fantastic experience for anyone aged 17 -20 looking for new skills and a way forward to work or study. You'll also have lots of fun and make new friends along the way.
“Green Corps really has been an absolute blast. The team and I have had heaps of fun working together. We're leaving Green Corps with more than just a certificate.”
Job Futures runs Green Corps in NSW, ACT, Queensland and the Northern Territory. If you're from another state but still want to be involved, go to the Australian Federal Government's Green Corps site at www.greencorps.gov.au.
To participate in Green Corps, you must be an Australian citizen or resident.
As a part of a Green Corp team, you'll get an allowance, accredited training and experience working on environmental and/or heritage projects.
“It's being part of a team and working together to make a difference, knowing that you really can make things happen. It's hard work but at the end of the day when you look back on what you've done you know it was worth the effort.”
Most Green Corps projects involve environmental work, but some Green Corps teams take on a community projects as well. This could mean learning new skills in public relations, marketing, event management, education, media relations and website production.
We'll give you accredited training in Conservation and Land Management. This is a recognised training qualification and will help you into further study or a career working with the environment. It shows employers that you're willing and able to follow structured training to get real results. You'll also do training in First Aid and Occupational Health and Safety. We'll give you career counselling that suits your needs.
“Being a Green Corps team member has given me the opportunity to explore my identity, learn new skills and be comfortable expressing my views.”
We'll give you lots of other support too. This might be helping you find people who can get you into work after the programme, or help with a disability, or literacy and language difficulties.
We work with all kinds of young people from all kinds of different backgrounds. We can help you get what you want to out of Green Corps.
“I learnt what it meant to be part of a team, working together for a common goal.”
