The Heart of Oregon Youth Conservation Corps is recruiting youth and young adults for summer jobs. This program is for young people ages 16-18, to earn wages and learn job skills over the summer, working for the Forest Service to complete conservation projects and improve local public lands. There are locations in Bend, Redmond, La Pine, Crescent, Madras, Warm Springs, Prineville and Sisters. To apply, visit https://heartoforegon.org/programs/high-desert-conservation-corps.html.
Butch David is the local crew boss for the Heart of Oregon Warm Springs Crew during the summer. The program expanded to include a Warm Springs Crew about 10 years ago.
Heart of Oregon’s Youth Programs Recruiter Robin Alonzo encourages people to find out about all of their programs, “We have six different programs and right now we’ve got some great opportunities for youth 16-24.”
