Summer 2024
Central Oregon Youth Conservation Corps Affinity Crews
In 2024, COYCC is establishing the program’s first LGBTQ and Tribal Youth affinity crews to break historical barriers in conservation. These crews aim to increase accessibility and representation on public lands while fostering transformative community experiences outdoors. Led by mentors who reflect the youths' identities, the crews connect with queer and indigenous mentors from the USFS, BLM, and other organizations. Weekly topics, such as Queer History Outdoors or Tribal Practices on the land, will foster cultural celebration and a sense of belonging, building a supportive network. This approach enables both collective and individual growth and empowerment for queer and indigenous youth.
COYCC summer program runs June 24th- August 15th, 2024 Monday-Thursday (9hour days).Applications are due April 30th. Visit the COYCC programs page to learn more about these opportunities and apply today- CLICK HERE!!!
