YCC offering summer jobs
By Craig F. eisenbeis
Correspondent
The Central Oregon
Youth Conservation Corps
(COYCC) is currently accept-
ing applications for nearly
100 summer jobs, and one of
the crews will be based here
in Sisters. Amy Racki, the
Forest Service’s recreation
team leader for the Sisters
Ranger District, made the
local announcement and said
that applicants must be 16 to
18 years of age.
“These programs offer
youth a great opportunity to
be employed, work in and
learn about the management
of their national forests, and
provide a sense of accom-
plishment and confidence,”
said Racki. “In addition,
the Forest Service is able to
complete additional proj-
ects on the ground that ben-
efit both the public and the
environment.”
COYCC operates under
the auspices of Heart of
Oregon Corps, a local Bend-
based nonprofit, which
provides natural-resource
employment and on-the-job
education for conservation
projects on the Ochoco and
Deschutes National Forests
and the Crooked River
National Grassland.
The COYCC jobs will pay
minimum wage, and work
will be nine hours a day,
Monday through Thursday
for a total of 36 hours per
week from June 27 to August
18. Racki said that the work
will include projects such as
stream channel restoration,
trail maintenance and con-
struction, road decommis-
sionings, hand-thinning of
trees and reforestation, bridge
repairs, maintaining fences,
piling hazardous fuels, restor-
ing campgrounds, improving
wildlife habitat, and other
types of conservation work.
The sisters Ranger
District does a fantastic
job of diversifying the
hands-on experience that
the youth take part in.
— Amy Racki
“The Sisters Ranger
District does a fantastic job
of diversifying the hands-
on experience that the youth
take part in,” Racki said. She
emphasized that the program
not only provides work expe-
rience for the area’s young
people, but it also directly
benefits the community and
the local environment.
COYCC applications are
being accepted now through
May 1. In addition to work
experience and wages earned,
the program also offers
opportunities for school credit
and college scholarships,
while also exploring post-
high-school opportunities and
careers. In addition to Sisters,
crews will also be based in
Crescent, La Pine, Bend,
Redmond, Prineville, Madras,
and Warm Springs. Applicants
are also required to attend a
one- to two-hour orientation
prior to employment.
Applications are avail-
able online at www.heart
oforegon.org. The Central
Oregon Youth Conservation
Corps program is operated
by Heart of Oregon Corps, in
partnership with the Central
Oregon Intergovernmental
Council and the U.S. Forest
Service. Funding for the
2016 program includes sup-
port from the United States
Forest Service, United Way
of Deschutes County, and the
Confederated Tribes of Warm
Springs.

Sisters Rodeo work parties
kicked off the season with 40
rodeo members and volun-

2016 rodeo, the second week-
end in June.
The infamous “painting
crew” was in the bleachers
putting a new coat of paint on
rails while manpower began
checking the boardwalks for
replacement of weathered
timber.
Another big crew was
burning waste and downed
trees in the newly dug six-
foot-deep fire pit, while
other workers cleared the
stock pens of debris and
weeds.
