YouthCorps
YouthCorps programs offer teens, ages 14-19, a job training, employment, and education program modeled after the Civilian Conservation Corps of the 1930's. The programs integrate challenge, education, and hard work into curricula that stress responsibility, pride, teamwork, and stewardship of natural resources. Youth work for four to five weeks, in 10 member crews along with two program staff, on conservation, reforestation, and recreation projects, and camp near their work sites. In addition to sharing the daily chores of camp life, crew members also explore contemporary environmental and social issues during educational programming.

YouthWorks
YouthWorks programs are operated out of our Eugene headquarters and include a structured summer program for youth ages 11 to 15. Students need to live in the Eugene area to participate in these programs, as they travel to NYC daily.

OutDoor School
The OutDoor School (ODS) is an alternative high school program for youth who find the traditional school setting unable to meet their needs. ODS Combines conservation work with academics in an environmental curriculum, alternating weekly between outdoor hands-on projects and classroom instruction including math, English, social studies and science. Participants must live in the Lane County area.
