About WisCorps

WisCorps is a 501(c)3 organization headquartered in La Crosse, WI. Our two core programs include the Conservation Corps and the Myrick Park Center. We carry out conservation projects throughout the state of Wisconsin and provide environmental education programs for children, adults, and families in the La Crosse community. Our building, the Myrick Park Center, is used as a wedding venue, and as a meeting space for a variety of community organizations.

Our mission is to develop leadership, self-confidence, and a strong work ethic in youth and young adults through the active stewardship of Wisconsin’s communities and natural resources.

Our Commitment to Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion

We expect members of our staff to be leaders in justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion leaders within the organization and in our community. Staff is expected to continually create and support a culture of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion in all WisCorps programs. Staff should seek to remove barriers to participation and create a safe and welcoming environment for all individuals, especially those who have been traditionally marginalized in the environmental field. This includes, but is not limited to BIPOC, AAPI, LGBTQIA+, Hispanic/Latinx, and individuals with a disability. Staff lead with an anti-racist mindset, and continually evaluate policies and procedures, and identify and refine, or remove those that do not support justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion.
