The Corps Network Great Outdoors Day of Service 2026
About
Celebrate Great Outdoors Month and National Service and Conservation Corps Day by volunteering with The Corps Network.
In celebration of National Service and Conservation Corps Day, join us on Friday, June 12, for The Corps Network’s 11th Great Outdoors Day of Service. This event unites young adults from Corps across the Eastern U.S., as well as many friends and partners of the Corps movement, for service projects at iconic parks in and around the Nation’s Capital. The purpose of this event is to:
- Inspire people to get outside and contribute to the preservation of America’s natural spaces. Hiking, biking, camping, fishing – so many outdoor activities would not be possible without proper stewardship of our park infrastructure and resources. All of us can pitch in to maintain the places and habitats that support our favorite activities.
- Raise awareness about the role of service and stewardship in protecting and improving public lands.
- Celebrate the service of the stewards who protect our natural treasures.
- Make a Difference. We hope to make a dent in the backlog of maintenance projects at parks in the nation’s capital, helping our resource management partners focus on other priority projects.
