The responsibility of coordinating and leading four cohorts of the Outdoor Youth Corps (OYC) and two cohorts of the Outdoor Leadership Corps (OLC) was confidently embraced by Fletcher, the Community Programs Supervisor, and myself, the Conservation Education Instructor. It is important to us that each participant has the best possible experience.

The Outdoor Leadership Corps (OLC) program is a paid green education and workforce development initiative in partnership with Great Rivers Greenway (GRG). The crew includes four Restoration Assistants and one Assistant Crew Leader. Under the guidance of the Conservation Education Instructor, this crew works to maintain, restore, and beautify the landscapes along greenways throughout the greater St. Louis area. We have a great crew this season and wanted to share more about them with all of you!

Personal growth, teambuilding, and friendships made along the way - these are the achievements that marked this season's Outdoor Leadership Crew who never fail to leave a lasting impact on our environment!

Meet our new Restoration Assistants making a huge impact as members of the Outdoor Leadership Corps!
