MCC helps young people develop vital competencies and discover their capacity to lead in their lives and their communities. Expenses support three delivery models: 1) AmeriCorps crew-based experiences; 2) Individual Placement models for young adults; and 3) Youth corps opportunities for Montana teens. In the AmeriCorps young adult programs, members ages 17 and up complete a term of service of three to nine months. They may serve on a four to six-person crew or be placed individually in Conservation Intern or Conservation Fellow positions. For youth ages 14-18, MCC offers two and four-week service Expeditions during the summer, as well as full-summer positions as part of Youth Conservation Corps partnerships with federal agency partners. MCC conducts over 300 community and conservation service projects each year. Projects meet community and public lands needs in Montana and surrounding states in the Northern Rockies and Great Plains regions. Projects involve a variety of conservation work including trails building and maintenance, invasive species mitigation, wildfire rehabilitation and fuels reduction, historic restoration, biological monitoring, habitat enhancement, fencing, watershed restoration, and community service. Significant accomplishments in 2024 included improvements to 1,405 miles of recreational trails that enhanced safety and access to public lands, restoration of 26,200 acres including 5,048 acres treated for invasive and noxious weeds, planting 49,432 trees, and repairing or installing 101 miles of fencing to reduce wildlife mortality and improve habitat management. Through meaningful service projects, members cultivate service values and a vigorous work ethic, learn practical job skills, develop as effective leaders and crew members, practice responsible land stewardship, and make lasting contributions to our communities and environment. A youth participant reflected: "I will definitely cherish the outdoors more and take home all my new insights on leadership, nature, myself, and teamwork. In the future, I will volunteer more and follow LNT [Leave No Trace]. I'll also take with me the mental stamina that I have gained on this hitch. I also plan on leading more by letting others make mistakes and learn from themselves, instead of just giving a resolution or answer right away." 2027652 675370 The Big Sky Watershed Corps (BSWC) is a partnership between Montana Conservation Corps, Montana Association of Conservation Districts, and Montana Watershed Coordination Council. BSWC activates community-based solutions for watershed health and protection. BSWC AmeriCorps members serve with local watershed-related groups throughout the state of Montana where they increase the capacity of host site organizations to lead community based, citizen-led watershed stewardship. Home-grown solutions to local watershed issues, on the ground watershed education and outreach, volunteer training, stream restoration projects and water monitoring initiatives make a measurable difference in local conservation efforts. BSWC AmeriCorps members gain practical, professional experience in watershed stewardship while developing skills for project leadership, collaborative management, volunteer engagement, and the role of citizens in leading change in their communities. 12616002 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 45 0 true 528 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 13 13 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false X X WENDY WIGERT 4065874475 301 N WILLSON AVENUE BOZEMAN MT 59715 JONATHAN MCKINNEY President & CEO 40.00 0.00 X 154991 0 25147 WENDY WIGERT VP FIN AND OP 40.00 0.00 X 127503 0 17423 MARY COCHENOUR BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOY EARLS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 GARRICK HARMEL BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 COURTNEY NAUMANN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MIKE KENNEDY Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 PAGE DABNEY Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 ERIC LEGVOLD BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 VIRGINIA MCQUEEN LANEY BOARD MEMEBR 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LEIF PETERSON BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 WHITNEY TILT Chairman 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 HEIDI MILLER VICE CHAIR 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 DAVID VAP BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JEFF MOW BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 282494 42570 2 false true false 0 6147162 875969 7023131 OTHER PROGRAM REVENUE 900099 675370 675370 PROGRAM FEES 110000 6892053 6892053 7567423 63542 63542 0 0 0 295238 295238 295238 295238 0 0 0 MEMBER HOUSING FEES 900099 39500 39500 39500 14988834 7902161 63542 0 0 0 0 325065 44967 275190 4908 0 8603631 8007946 571532 24153 80023 54494 25529 996016 901886 91845 2285 1082944 1012257 68014 2673 0 0 18570 18570 0 0 0 0 3820 2862 958 33247 20523 10924 1800 88188 26091 56619 5478 0 275104 255383 19721 400041 385390 13735 916 0 0 53 53 0 5925 5925 111047 19817 91230 VEHICLE OPERATIONS 1168738 1168079 659 PROJECT AND SAFETY SUPPLIES 207962 207962 CONTRACT LABOR 200428 122456 51751 26221 TRAINING 190053 185968 4085 235133 193943 29816 11374 14025988 12616002 1330178 79808 0 3338160 5899347 263628 390422 294613 89896 0 0 0 0 17009 41264 42897 38883 9939 4014 1409824 0 0 0 2080929 2251982 32461 94463 7446563 8771388 484815 650566 2075541 2265172 2560356 2915738 X 4734505 5371203 151702 484447 4886207 5855650 7446563 8771388 962846 6597 X false true X true true true X 4263552 4231382 4872291 5226836 7023131 25617192 0 0 4263552 4231382 4872291 5226836 7023131 25617192 215402 25401790 325 199 678 8465 63542 73209 0 39500 39500 25729901 2812823 0.98720 0.98250 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 3002 3002 11045177 11048179 702409 175602 false 536150 623111 598617 702409 2460287 3690431 207 427 427 3002 4063 134038 155778 149654 175602 615072 922608 11500 7666 3834 31397 31217 180 4014 FINANCE LEASE LIABILITY - VEHICLE 1979472 OPERATING LEASE LIABILITY - OFFICE SPACE 285700 2265172 15034931 6597 39500 46097 14988834 14988834 14065488 39500 39500 14025988 14025988 Part XI, Line 2d: Other revenue amounts included in F/S but not included on form 990 MEMBER HOUSING $39500 Part XII, Line 2d: Other expenses and losses per audited F/S MEMBER HOUSING $39500 X X false false false false false false false false false JONATHAN MCKINNEY President & CEO 154991 7749 17398 180138 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b MCC Utilizes the services of an accounting firm to complete the Form 990.
