About Northwest Youth Corps
Northwest Youth Corps is a program that offers valuable experiences for young individuals. Participants engage in challenging outdoor work, such as backcountry saw crew duties, which provide them with essential life skills and unforgettable memories.

The program instills a strong work ethic, appreciation for nature, and the ability to collaborate effectively with others. While the pay may not be the highest, the personal growth and the opportunity to make a positive impact on the community and environment are considered invaluable by those who have participated in the program. Many express a desire to return and continue their involvement with Northwest Youth Corps in the future.
