About RMYC

History and Overview

Mission:

Rocky Mountain Youth Corps engages youth in the outdoors, inspiring them to use their strengths and potential to lead healthy, productive lives.  We teach responsibility for self, community and environment through teamwork, service and experiential education.

History: 

Rocky Mountain Youth Corps (RMYC) was established in 1993 by the City of Steamboat Springs in response to a community demand for more youth employment, educational, and recreational opportunities. 

In 1999, RMYC obtained 501(c)3 status enabling us to serve a greater geographic area from which to recruit youth and procure projects, and greater capacity for programmatic expansion in response to fluctuating demands.  The basic mission and purpose have not changed over time, but have been reinforced and expanded to achieve greater success.
