Corpsmembers and staff of CREC recently attended the City of Flagstaff’s Earth Day Celebration, on April 17th. The morning service project drew sixty volunteers from the community, with CREC representing over half.

The CREC project schedule is filling up fast. We are anticipating hiring additional crews to create more jobs for young Americans. CREC provides training and workforce development for youth and young adults ages 15-25, who we know will be a future resource for land management agencies across the country, engaging them in service and conservation projects all over the state of Arizona.

CREC's Energy Conservation Corps (ECC) has hit the ground running!

On February 9th, CREC field coordinators Chris Ives and Pat Kelly, along with CREC training, education, and risk management coordinator Alan Kaufmann had the pleasure of traveling down to Black Canyon City to participate in a rigging training with a true expert of the field, Lester Kenway.

If you're a CREC alumnus like me, you probably wish you had an easy way to stay in touch with the other current and former CRECers out there. So here it is, a brand new CREC alumni group on facebook. You need to be a facebook.com member to join the group, but the process isn't too painful. If you're interested, please join soon, because right now there are only two of us and that's just sad!

On Friday, November 2, 2007 from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m., the Coconino Rural Environment Corps (CREC) will host a Ten Year Anniversary Open House at their new facility located at 5410 E.
