Community Services Consortium

Community Services Consortium has provided summer conservation work since 2003 for youth in Lincoln County, aged 14-21, who lack positive connections to their communities and exhibit barriers to employment and/or successful school completion. The Oregon Youth Conservation Corps (OYCC) Summer Conservation Corps was established by the Oregon Legislature in 1987 to provide a program to increase educational, training and employment opportunities for youth. Their focus is in improving employability, increasing social skills and personal development, and appreciation of the environment. OYCC has funded CSC's Summer Natural Resource Crews since their inception in 2003. Established in 1959, the Oregon State Marine Board is Oregon's recreational boating agency, dedicated to safety, education and access in an enhanced environment. The Board also provides grants to develop and maintain accessible boating facilities.
