MISSION
Rocky Mountain Youth Corps engages young people in the outdoors, empowering them to use their strengths and potential to lead healthy, productive lives. They build resiliency in themselves, their communities and ecosystems through teamwork, service and experiential education.
VISION
Rocky Mountain Youth Corps will be the leader in the the Northern and Central Rockies to provide diverse opportunities for young people to participate in outdoor based service and education for their growth, respect and responsibility to self, community and environment. We will do this through strong sustainable collaborations with project, program, and funding partners.
The City of Steamboat Springs Parks and Recreation Department established Rocky Mountain Youth Corps (RMYC) in 1993 in response to a demand from the community for more summer jobs and recreational opportunities for teens and young adults. Rocky Mountain Youth Corps obtained non-profit status from the IRS in October of 1999. Privatization has allowed for more funding opportunities, a larger geographic area from which to recruit youth and projects, and greater capacity for programmatic changes in response to fluctuating demands.
