COMMUNITY STEWARDSHIP CORPS

The Community Stewardship Corps (CSC) is comprised of innovative, community-focused alternative education programs. Oregon Youth Corps partners with alternative education programs statewide. Youth gain valuable education, employment and leadership skills while learning work ethic and environmental knowledge through integrated classroom and field-based learning projects.

Successful CSC programs involve a collaboration of many community organizations. The program is usually a school district, alternative school, education service district or a Workforce Investment Act (WIA) provider. It is essential that programs be connected to the school system and that a method for awarding credit or earning a GED is in place.

Crew activities include natural resource projects such as: trail construction and maintenance, invasive species and noxious weed removal,   riparian and wetlands restoration, construction and cultivation of native plant stock. Students also participate in projects such as GIS and GPS mapping and surveying, water/soil sampling and monitoring. Other community-based activities include volunteering in programs such as SMART (Start Making a Reader Today), Meals on Wheels, providing firewood for the elderly, SOLVE (Stop Oregon Litter and Vandalism), local food banks, community gardens, recycling and renovation projects.
