Go! LEAD


~Applications Closed~


 

Go-LEAD employs young people ages 16-22 with diverse abilities who have been to Camp LEAD (or are interested in attending). This is a fun opportunity to engage in winter programming focused on job training and environmental education. Participants are paid to help maintain public recreation areas & learn about outdoor-related careers. 

Go!-LEAD provides the opportunity for young people to build their confidence, learn new job skills, and earn wages while helping improve public lands throughout Central Oregon. This is a supportive and fun environment for participants to reconnect with existing friends, while also forging new connections with peers they have yet to meet.
