Empowering the Next Generation

Northwest Youth Corps

Northwest Youth Corps (NYC) offers a challenging education and job-training experience that helps youth and young adults from diverse backgrounds develop the skills they need to lead full and productive lives. Crews travel across the Northwest, build trails, restore wild places, and much more. Training and camping are provided. If you're interested in the outdoors, come join us.

Eugene, OR; Lake Wenatchee/Tacoma, WA; and Boise, ID. Local housing is not needed; crews camp in tents together for their entire 10-week session. Project locations include national parks, forests, and wilderness areas across each state.
