The NorthWoods Conservation Corps\u00a0provides extensive training to all of its employees through several weeks of staff training. Crew Leaders are trained in group facilitation and leadership, program documentation and assessment, and conservation work skills. Crew member training places greater emphasis on group dynamics and team skills as well as basic work and conservation skills. In 2002, the Kingdom Corps added a second week of Crew Leader training to accommodate more in-depth project site visits and to certify leaders in a SOLO Wilderness First Aid (WFA) course.<\/p>\n

*Training for crew members is an unpaid, mandatory requisite for employment in the Corps<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
