YCC team members will work June 15, 2020 through August 11, 2020, earning the Oregon state minimum wage of $11.00 per hour. The schedule is Monday to Friday from 7:00 am to 3:30 pm. The YCC team will work at John Day Fossil Beds National Monument under the supervision of National Park Service staff.
"We are excited about providing local youth the opportunity to learn about the history of Eastern Oregon while at the same time preserving the park resources associated with this part of the John Day Valley," said Superintendent Patrick Gamman.
The YCC team will focus on the preservation of resources associated with the James Cant Ranch and the surrounding fossil beds. In addition, the crew will have opportunities to visit other historically significant areas in the valley, gaining a more complete understanding of the John Day Valley history and the issues facing the protection of these resources in the future.
Young people who are interested in applying download an application and e-mail the park.
The completed application must be received by e-mail or postmarked no later than May 25, 2020 to: John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, Attn: Shane Loescher: YCC, 32651 Hwy 19, Kimberly, OR 97848
