About me: EarthCorps is a non-profit organization founded in 1993. It is dedicated to building global community through local environmental restoration service. As an AmeriCorps affiliate, EarthCorps provides one-year intensive programs for young adults (18-25) to learn best practices in conservation techniques and develop skills in leading volunteers (ages 8-80).

Global leadership
EarthCorps is based in Seattle, Washington. Work consists of volunteer-based and contracted restoration projects on public lands in the Puget Sound and Cascade mountains. EarthCorps alumni volunteer on environmental restoration projects around the world, for example building and maintaining the Great Baikal Trail in Siberia. Two-thirds of EarthCorps’ program participants come from the United States, one-third come from partner organizations from six different continents.
Community-based expertise in environmental restoration
Environmental service is a uniquely effective way to build community. When people put their hands into the dirt together and see their efforts transform a threatened area into a more vibrant landscape, they forge a special bond. Each year, EarthCorps brings 10,000 community volunteers and hundreds of school-age children into direct contact with their environment and each other.

Who I'd like to meet: You! Come out and work with young people from all over the world. We have events that everyone can take part in throughout King County. For dates and locations of our events, Volunteer Calendar. See you Saturday!
Hey EC, come on down if you can make it! Bring usable goods, skills, talents, food or whatever you can think of. This is about people empowering people so we can build a better way of getting the things we need.

ummm yeah... so the image of my face is actually restricted (R) so I'm going to have to go ahead and ask you to remove your little "video" from this webspace. My lawyer will be contacting you about this matter in the near future (EarthCorps does provide legal representation to second-year participants, right?). thank-you.
