We are excited to have a WV READY AmeriCorps position available starting in May. The West Fork AmeriCorps Service Member will work with us to help recruit volunteers and collaborate with county, city, and other government and non-profit organizations, and improve our administrative and organizing capacity. Only 1% of the stream mileage in our watershed is fit for the three major designated purposes – public drinking water supply, healthy fish and other stream life, and contact recreation – swimming, paddling and wading. The member will help improve water quality in our watershed and involve our communities.
The West Virginia Rural Engagement Ambassadors for Development and Youth (WV READY) is a new collaborative AmeriCorps program sponsored by Stewards Individual Placements, a program of Conservation Legacy. Our position is funded by an extension of our Ohio River Valley Participatory Fund grant and our 2026 Stream PArtners grant.
If you or someone you know is interested in working with us, the details and online application are here.
