The following is from our partners at Heart of Oregon Corps:
Heart of Oregon Corps supports young people ages 16-24 to transform their lives and their communities through training, certifications, and service. We’ve graduated more than 5,000 workforce-ready youth since our founding in 2000, with a focus on construction, childcare and conservation.
These young people are our local solution to solving three of our region’s greatest challenges:
- Housing affordability
- Childcare shortage
- Wildfire risk reduction
For 25 years, we’ve stretched aging, borrowed service spaces across the region as far we can go.
Now we’re asking you to help us raise the final $2.5 million to build a central campus in Redmond to answer the growing demand for our programs and to support underserved youth to thrive.
It’s time. Our region needs a workforce development campus for youth and young adults—for the benefit of us all.
