Serving on the crew is the award’s only term. $1500 will be awarded through each participant’s college’s financial aid department. Only students attending accredited colleges starting fall 2013 are eligible. We highly encourage part-time, non-traditional and community college students to apply.
“This can be a leg up in the work-force, and in the classroom,” says Austin Kasner, 2012 SMC volunteer, 2013 Southern Oregon University graduate, and employee at Standing Stone Brewery. “It definitely helped me get ahead.”
The Club is also hiring youth from southern Oregon for a 10-day crew later in July, working in Ashland’s Soda Mountain Wilderness Area on an ecological trail-conservation project. That is a paid-crew and the dates run July 23 – Aug 1, tentatively.
