During the school year, our
year-round stewardship crews are connected to the local school districts.
Youth will learn job skills, earn an hourly wage and earn high
school "skills-based" learning credits. |
During the summer, Heart of Oregon
partners with COIC and the Forest Service natural
resource-based, hands-on education and work projects on public
lands. Youth can earn an hourly wage and high school
"skills-based" learning credit. |
AmeriCorps referrals come from our
justice, school, and service provider partners. AmeriCorps
members learn job skills, work towards their GED, earn an
Education Award, and get support transitioning to employment. |
