We aim to improve economic and social vitality while increasing pathways out of poverty. We are training tomorrow’s workforce today. Heart of Oregon Corps’ AmeriCorps Public Lands Corps program serves local young people ages 17-24 throughout Central Oregon, and improves over 1,000 acres of public lands a year. The Land Stewardship Trainer position serves alongside of and trains these local, Opportunity Youth members. A Staff Crew Leader oversees each crew. Crews of 7-8 local young people, a Land Stewardship Trainer, and a Staff Crew Leader serve mostly outdoors on natural resource conservation projects. Crews learn to use a chainsaw or crosscut saw, build a fence, control invasive weeds, and maintain hiking/biking trails. Project partners include the Deschutes and Ochoco US Forest Service, Prineville BLM District, and Bend Parks & Rec, among many others.
