The Minister for Employment Participation, Brendan O’Connor, today announced 54 new Green Corps projects that will make a positive impact on the environment across Australia.
Green Corps is an Australian Government funded program that provides young people aged between 17 and 20 the opportunity to volunteer to conserve, preserve and restore Australia’s environment and cultural heritage.
“Green Corps provides participants with training in recognised skills that are designed to help young people to gain work opportunities in related fields,” Mr O’Connor said.
“Participants will be trained under the supervision of a qualified team leader and will gain a Certificate I qualification in horticulture, conservation and land management.”
