Here is your chance to get Outdoors and Active in your local Oregon Community! Join OutdoorOregonToday!
Do you want to be a part of something that makes a difference? Outdoor Oregon is making difference in your community. Your crew will learn how to build trails, enhance natural habitats, remove invasive species, and develop many other valuable outdoor skills in your local community.
Crews will meet at a designated site every morning. Members work an average of 6 hours a day. During that time, crews come together not just as coworkers, but as a group of friends and teammates. They return home at the end of the day with new skills and pride in a job well done.
For five weeks, participants gain real world experience while enhancing their community's natural environment. Through a focus on local projects, members will become more connected and invested with the area in which they live and can take pride in the benefits they create for their neighborhood.
Northwest Youth Corps programs provide excellent work and leadership experience for any career field or college as well as provide excellent references for future prospects. Once the program is completed, the graduates can also join our extensive Alumni Network that dates back as far as 1984.
No specific skills required. All youth will be trained in necessary skill-sets. Outdoor Oregon crews earn respect and high praise for the quality of their work. All that is needed from the youth is a desire to learn and participate in a great team based experience.
Program Details:
- Each crew will work 7 hour days plus travel time.
- Each crew will CAMP AT LEAST one week - most likely after the second week. You will need to bring a sleeping bag, sleeping pad, and warm clothes to wear after work. Everything else will be provided including food. Please feel free to call if you have any questions.
