Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar has signed a Secretarial Order establishing an Office of Youth in Natural Resources at the Department of the Interior. The office will coordinate present and future youth initiatives, the signature program of which will be a 21st Century Youth Conservation Corps. The corps will be modeled after the Civilian Conservation Corps that provided 3-million men with jobs in the 1930s. By comparison, the 21st Century Youth Conservation Corps will include women as well as men and strive for greater diversity.
The Secretary said the Interior Department expects the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds to result in the employment of an additional 5-thousand young people by this summer. In making the announcement Salazar said, - President Obama and I believe that during tough economic times, a new national youth program is needed to provide jobs, outdoor experiences and career opportunities for young people –especially women, minorities, tribal and other underserved youth.
The program will engage thousands of young men and women in all states and territories, from diverse backgrounds, including tribal and underserved populations and those who have little opportunity to experience the outdoors.
