Community organisations with an interest in youth development or natural resource management and heritage are encouraged to become a Partner Agency with Green Corps. Projects are community-based, with 75 per cent located in regional and remote areas of Australia.
Each project must have an environmental and/or cultural heritage focus, provide youth development opportunities to the Green Corps participants and facilitate linkages between the participants and their local community.
Projects must be consistent with the environmental and heritage policies of the Australian Government and must use best practice principles.
What you need to provide
Each Green Corps project delivers the 26-week project in partnership with a Green Corps service provider. Partner agencies need to provide:
- a structured programme to keep participants busy for 26 weeks
- opportunities for team members to build a range of skills and a sense of achievement once the project is complete
- technical support
- project materials and resources
- mentors and support from the community and
help for participants in connecting with employment opportunities and the community
More information
Your first point of contact is a Green Corps Service Provider in your local state or territory. Initially, you should submit a project Expression of Interest form. The Green Corps Service Provider will then work with you to develop your project proposal to host a Green Corps activity.
