GREEN
CORPS
The Green Corps –
Young Australians for the Environment Program is a youth
initiative of the Commonwealth Government administered by the
Department of Employment and Work Place Relations and delivered
through Job Futures and Greening Australia.
IMPACT Make Your Mark
is a Delivery Agency for Green Corps, responsible for:
- Managing and delivering program requirements with respect to
each approved Green Corps project
- Recruiting, support and supervising the team leader for an
approved Green Corps project
- Entering into agreements with partner agencies for the
management and delivery of parts of an approved Green Corps
project
- Recruiting and training participants
- Managing participant welfare for each project delivered
- Supervising environmental, heritage and other work undertaken
by Green Corps teams
- Managing the quality of delivery of Green Corps projects
Partner agencies work with IMPACT Make Your Mark to ensure the
success of approved projects. It is expected that Partner Agencies
will have an interest in seeing significant environment or heritage
work being undertaken by Green Corps team members. Partner Agencies
will generally be required to contribute proposals for
environment/heritage work to be undertaken and to assist in the
provision of equipment and technical expertise to the Green Corps
Delivery Agency in relation to that Green Corps project.
Green Corps offers young people aged between 17 to 20, an
opportunity to receive accredited training while participating in
26-week projects that contribute to
environmental and cultural heritage development. Training includes
accredited units from the Certificate in Conservation and Land
Management, with team members also gaining valuable experience and
skills while being involved in on the job project activities.
Team members receive an allowance, accredited training,
environmental experience and the opportunity to make an impact on
Australia’s cultural and environmental heritage plus meet other
young people.
Green Corps team members will work with enthusiastic and
qualified team leaders, who are interested in making a difference
to young people’s lives.
