Restoration Corps

Restoration Corps (R-Corps)

*** CLOSED FOR SUMMER 2025, CHECK BACK NEXT SPRING FOR 2026 OPPORTUNITIES

Each summer, the American Littoral Society runs our Restoration Corps program. Also known as R-Corps, this youth employment and education initiative seeks to provide training, education, and job skills for the next generation of environmental stewards.
​The program is specifically designed to engage young people in meaningful environmental projects.


R-Corps is a green jobs training and service program for those aged 16-25 that teaches participants skills in conservation, habitat restoration, and education. Team members work outdoors and hands-on in our local communities in Cumberland County, NJ, Sandy Hook, NJ, and around Jamaica Bay, NY. In addition to working on projects themselves, R-Corps members help provide skilled guidance in larger community events and educational programs.
​
The R-Corps has evolved into a highly competitive green jobs training program. Corps members will gain skills in green stormwater infrastructure maintenance and installation, habitat assessments and restoration, community education, and resume development. Many alumni R-Corps members have used their unique experiences as part of their college applications, earning scholarships and are currently pursuing careers in the environmental sciences.


The program currently operates out of the Littoral Society's Delaware Bayshore office in Millville, NJ, the headquarters in Sandy Hook, NJ and the Northeast Chapter Jamaica Bay Office in Broad Channel, NY.​
