The job corps is from 8:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. Monday through Friday except the weekly field trips and the final field trip. The application period is from May 24 until June 5 with a follow up interview.

 

The purpose of the conservation job corps is to allow students to take a rigorous look at biology and the sciences as a possible education and career path.

 

The curriculum will explore different ecosystems around the state of Texas and will include hands on conservation work at the I-20 Wildlife Preserve, classroom study, and weekly day field trips in west Texas with a final 10-day field trip to various places around Texas.
