The GeoCorps program helps geoscientists engage their skills in addressing the scientific
and resource management needs of America's public lands through short-term geoscience
projects with professionals at the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management.
GeoCorps projects offer unique experiences to grow professionally, complete meaningful
work, and increase the number of geoscientists on the ground advancing the management,
research, education and outreach, and stewardship of geologic resources nationwide.
GeoCorps participants receive a minimum hourly rate. Some locations offer free onsite
housing, and some locations offer a higher wage if free housing is not available.
