Boulder County is accepting applications for Youth Corps Team Leader positions for the 2026 season. Team Leaders supervise crews of young adults working on conservation projects including trail construction, habitat restoration, and wildfire fuel reduction across Boulder County open space properties. Positions start in May.

The project includes improvements along Arapahoe Road between Niwot and the intersection with 75th Street. Construction is scheduled to begin in July 2026 with completion expected within 13 months.

Affordable housing remains the top priority identified in the 2024 Community Survey. Boulder County’s Worthy Cause program has funded 934 affordable housing units since its inception, with 285 additional units in the development pipeline.

According to Brian Nakamura, director of Public Health, this program served 33% more residents in 2024 compared to the previous year. “We’re seeing unprecedented demand from communities across Boulder County, particularly in Niwot and the surrounding area,” Brian Nakamura said.
