The Time is NOW

Washington is ready for a youth workforce development program that will prepare young workers for countless resource management jobs.

Congress wants to make it happen—through Recovery funds, the House jobs bill and the Public Lands Service Corps Act.

Secretary Salazar has made engaging youth a priority for the Department of the Interior.

Corps and SCA are ready to act, and 6 million out-of-work young adults want these jobs.

A Smart Solution

Young people in Corps programs and SCA are training now for careers on public lands.

Engaging young adults can help meet backlogged maintenance needs, address youth unemployment, and prepare a diverse group of youth to be the next generation of public lands employees.
