The Conservation Corps Newfoundland and Labrador is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing youth with training and employment in environmental and cultural heritage conservation. The Corps was created by the Economic Recovery Commission in 1992 to increase quality employment, training and career-development opportunities for youth. The Corps’ founders believed that the programs and activities of the new organization should focus on forging partnerships with the environment and cultural heritage sectors in a manner that would benefit all partners, youth, communities and business.
The Corps was incorporated in 1993 as a not-for-profit agency governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and in 1996 it received charitable organization status from Revenue Canada. Since 1993 it has received significant funding from the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador. It now receives approximately 40% of it’s funding from community and corporate partners. The Corps continues to be directed by a volunteer Board, with Directors of varying backgrounds from across the province. Today, the Conservation Corps has established a highly-visible and successful track record in delivering environment and cultural heritage conservation projects that bring youth together with provincial, national and international government, corporate and community partners.
