To All Our Stakeholders Regarding COVID-19 

Updated July 5, 2023

The health and well-being of our Corpsmembers, Staff and our Central Oregon communities is paramount, and we take COVID-19 safety very seriously. Heart of Oregon Corps provides paid job training, education, and stewardship that empowers and inspires positive change in the lives of young people. We deem it critical to offer these opportunities as a part of national pandemic recovery efforts. We believe our local community and youth need us now more than ever. 

OPERATING STATUS:

Heart of Oregon Corps is operating all six youth programs. Our offices are open! Visit our Contact Us page for office hours and maps.
