Northwest Youth Corps

Northwest Youth Corps and Idaho Conservation Corps

Thank you for placing your trust in us.

This year, an international pandemic and unprecedented wildfires made our jobs even tougher. Luckily, the very same resilience and leadership skills we strive to develop in youth allowed our team to offer successful and safe field experiences to almost 700 youth and young adults.

Looking toward 2021, as our region faces continuing challenges in society and the environment, we need your help to educate and engage a new generation of young people. 

• Wildfire Response. In response to numerous wildfires which burnt across Oregon, Washington, and Idaho this fall, our crews are engaging in efforts protect and restore watersheds, fisheries, and water quality from erosion, landslides, and silt loading. This is in addition to all the other conservation work our NYC and ICC crews complete. 
• COVID-19 Response. This year, our extensive COVID management protocols allowed crews to effectively operate during the pandemic. Your gift provides crews with personal protective equipment, as well as supports the added costs incurred in operating in a COVID environment.
• Tuition and Gear Scholarships. Your gift helps a growing number of motivated young people to benefit from NYC and ICC by reducing financial barriers to a greater diversity of programs.

Help us invest in youth by donating. Your tax-deductible gift of $50, $100, $250, or in any amount helps Northwest Youth Corps and Idaho Conservation Corps to buy safety equipment, invest in technology and staffing, fund crews, and stay at the cutting edge of our region’s youth development efforts.  

“I wanted to thank you for the amazing opportunity to work in such a beautiful area…Each and every day was simply incredible. So once again: Thank you... The outdoors is a place we all need, and with your help, access is available.”      – Program Graduate
