Northwest Youth Corps 2017 Annual Report Partners Northwest Youth Corps 2017 Annual Report Leadership for the 21st Century 5657 E. Warm Springs Ave, Boise, ID 83716 208.615.2726 | idahocc.org A Letter from the Board President Dear Friends, I am honored to share — through this Annual Report — the impact that 1,160 remarkable young people made last year through Northwest Youth Corps. These young people are part of a growing national movement which encourages each of us to invest in our communities, serve our public lands, and find creative solutions to the unique and pressing challenges of our times. We are incredibly thankful for the broad support we received from partners and donors to connect these and other young people to the outdoors. I also want to acknowledge NYC’s incredibly committed and hardworking staff and AmeriCorps members, who carried out many accomplishments, a few of which are listed below. “Northwest Youth Corps has taught me that Community: Our Youth Corps Community model connects young people to I am a leader and I have good ideas, I have outdoor service opportunities in their own neighborhoods. In 2017, we expanded a voice, and I have grit and I can use that in this program to Tacoma, Washington, and built a program specifically for Native different areas of my life back home.” American youth in Portland, Oregon. - 2017 Participant Internships: Over the past year we placed more than 100 Northwest Youth Corps participants in para-professional internships with public land management agencies. Those interns gained the skills and experience needed for career opportunities while accomplishing mission-critical work with our partners. Infrastructure: Last year NYC crews worked hard to maintain our region’s world- class trails, campgrounds, and facilities while supporting a $50 billion recreation economy in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. These exciting projects are just a small sample of the remarkable things happening at NYC. We are only able to accomplish all of this because of YOU, our stakeholders — project partners, businesses, foundations, and individual donors — and your dedication to Northwest Youth Corps. Many of you are acknowledged in this Annual Report. We hope you share our pride in being a part of something so meaningful while making a huge difference to our region’s lands and waters. Thank you again for your continued support and dedication to Northwest Youth Corps’ mission. Sincerely, Lauren Sommers President of the Board Northwest Youth Corps “I believe I gained something that every young person must find…It felt like I could finally breathe. In the Northwest Youth Corps environment...I was able to ‘figure myself out’.” - 2017 Participant Service: The stewardship demands of our public lands and waters are immense. In 2017, more than 1,160 participants answered the call to serve their nation and community through Northwest Youth Corps. The impact these impassioned individuals have on our natural resources is impressive, as they restore critical land and waters, reduce the threat of fire, maintain recreation infrastructure, and meet other emerging needs. Opportunity: Equally important is the impact this service has on our participants themselves as they learn to work as part of a team, solve complex problems, and grow in their understanding of the responsibilities of citizenship. Northwest Youth Corps participants gain real world, practical experience, and skills needed to be successful in the workforce. Equity: Successful leadership in the 21st Century will require our graduates to understand and collaborate with people unlike themselves. Through Northwest Youth Corps, young people can reach their potential, no matter their culture, ethnicity, economic status, religion, gender identity, or zip code. Our commitment to equity and inclusion is a fundamental part of our success. “At Northwest Youth Corps I learned that girls and boys are equals and that together we are stronger.” - 2017 Participant 2017 By The Numbers Revenues $5,993,853 Expenditures $5,958,945 Other Administration Stipends 6% Grants & Donations 14% 13% 13% Operations Tuition & 12% 2% Fees 5% Field Wages Service Projects 8% Transportation 36% 74% Education Contracts Salaries & Wages 17% 164,661 1,160 Members Served 163 Partners Total Project Hours 521 Miles 2,532 Acres 83,390 Hours Trails Built/Maintained Land Restored of Education Gifts and Donations Tuition Assistance Endowment NYC’s Tuition Assistance Endowment was established through a gift made by Steve Stewart in memory of his mother, Dorothy Elizabeth Stewart.

  • Interior the Following Appropriations Requests Were Submitted by Senator
    Interior The following appropriations requests were submitted by Senator Merkley to the Appropriations Committee for consideration as part of the Interior, Environment and Related Agencies appropriations bill for fiscal year 2011. Bend Surface Water Project - $2,000,000 EPA, Bend, OR The Surface Water project has three major components: water treatment, pipeline replacement, and hydroelectric development. Funds will be put toward the estimated overall $71,000,000 cost of the project, which is to construct a water treatment plant, replace an 11 mile water pipeline, and install a small hydroelectric facility, gaining 1.2 MW of green power, further defraying the long term cost of the project. The project is required in order to replace aging infrastructure, and comply with EPA LT2 drinking water regulations governing surface water. Eastside Sewer Interceptor Project: Oak to Antler - $1,375,000 City of Redmond, Redmond, OR The east side of Redmond is poised for significant industrial and commercial growth. The City’s Desert Rise Industrial Park (State Certified, 75 shovel ready acres), Pioneer Business Park (40 acre, incubator lots), Crown Mill redevelopment (70 acre former sawmill), Greenway Business Campus (220 acre ―green-themed‖ re-development) and several other planned development or redevelopment projects exist east of US 97 and the BNSF rail line. Full buildout of the east side industrial development cannot occur without construction of a planned large diameter sewer line which parallels the BNSF rail line and intercepts/collects wastewater effluent from all east side development. The project, known as the Eastside Sewer Interceptor Project, will also have the capacity to serve the potential 900-acre large lot Department of State Land (DSL) project south of the Deschutes County Fairgrounds and Expo Center.

  • Environmental Conditions Appendix II
    Environmental Conditions Environmental Conditions Appendix II The unique geology, hydrology and climates of the Deschutes River Subbasin create a diverse mix of habitat conditions for fish and wildlife. These populations are linked to the ecosystems in which they live and their health, individual characteristics and abundance reflect the diversity ― and quality ― of their environments. Fish populations, for instance, developed complex life histories through time that responded to the subbasin’s considerable variation in habitat conditions. Stream flows, water temperatures, substrate characteristics and other combined attributes affected anadromous fish distribution within the subbasin and timing of migration. Wildlife population abundance and distribution also developed in response to habitat conditions. Native grasslands once covered vast areas and supported species such as sage grouse, which once occurred exclusively in this habitat. Loss of grassland habitat greatly reduced such populations. Today subbasin habitat conditions continue to influence fish and wildlife production, distribution and survival. These habitats and their attributes ― as well as the aquatic and terrestrial populations they support ― are affected by both natural watershed processes and human activities that influence flow, water quality, upland and riparian conditions and instream habitat. This chapter examines how environmental conditions in the Deschutes watershed affect the subbasin’s fish and wildlife populations. Building on the more general review provided in the Overview, the discussion characterizes the environmental conditions within three watershed areas: the Lower Deschutes watershed (below RM 100), Crooked River watershed, and Upper Deschutes watershed (above RM 100). It characterizes the natural watershed environments, such as geology, climate and hydrology, and the focal fish species they support.
