Heart of Oregon AmeriCorps
 
 
 
Our AmeriCorps members serve their community while also improving their lives. Crews of 7-8 young people work mostly outdoors in natural resource conservation projects. They can learn to use a chainsaw, build a fence, and maintain hiking/biking trails. During their 3 month term, members work towards their GED/diploma, prepare for college, and gain work experience. As AmeriCorps volunteers, members earn a living stipend and a Segal Education Award for college. After, HOC supports our young adults to begin a career path, post-secondary education, or both. Corpsmembers report to Bend or Prineville Oregon daily, this is not an overnight or residential program.
