YCC is a program designed to accomplish needed conservation work on public lands, provide gainful employment for students from all segments of society while gaining an appreciation of natural resources and cultural heritage. It also provides our youth an opportunity to engage in a variety of jobs the Forest Service does and learn about career opportunities within the agency.
"We are excited to host this great program that provides jobs for our youth in the valley while they explore their national forest and the potential careers we have to offer," said Kurt Steele, Flathead National Forest Supervisor. "We have provided this opportunity in years past and it is always a highlight to hear about their adventures at the end of the season, and their work has also provided a great service to our public."
