Northwest Youth Corps Summer Crews
Northwest Youth Corps is currently hiring youth for summer Community Crews based in Olympia and Tacoma. The Community Program is a day program where participants must reside in or in close proximity to locations where programs are offered. Participants work Monday - Friday for 5 weeks and return home each night. Interested youth must be able to get to and from work each day by their own means of transportation and provide their own meals. For five weeks, participants gain real-world work experience while getting involved with local environmental projects; members become more connected and invested with the area in which they live and can take pride in the benefits they create for their local community. Washington crews specifically get to spend a week of their service camping (most likely at Mount Rainier!) and diving even deeper into the field of conservation. Dates, stipends, and more general information can be found on the website.
DAY PROGRAM FOR AGES 15-19
Youth Community Program is a non-residential, day program for 15 to 19 year olds. With the experience of field staff guiding them, participants complete service projects in their own community each day and return home at night. Crews meet at a designated site every morning and evening, Monday through Friday. Members spend an average of 6 hours per day working and one hour participating in an educational lesson, from which they earn high school credit and a $325/week stipend. During these 5 week sessions, participants learn new skills, challenge themselves, make new friends, and better their communities!
RESIDENTIAL CAMPING PROGRAM FOR AGES 16-19
Youth Camping programs combine education and job skill training with outdoor adventure for 16 to 19 year olds. With the guidance of experienced field staff, youth crew members work on conservation, reforestation, and recreation projects, while developing leadership skills and learning how to work as a team. Crews camp in the field for their entire 5-6 week session, traveling to a new project each week and recreating on the weekends. In addition to earning a $350/week stipend and high school credit, participants make new friends, learn new skills, explore the Northwest’s wildest places, challenge themselves, and have an awesome summer!
