Council backs Heart of Oregon Corps youth crews with $2,000 donation
Summary
The city approved a $2,000 contribution to Heart of Oregon Corps to support Central Oregon Youth Conservation Corps summer wages, vehicle rentals and match for federal awards after a presentation by director Patrick Orr.
Patrick Orr, director of conservation programs at Heart of Oregon Corps, asked the council for $2,000 to support the Central Oregon Youth Conservation Corps, a summer employment and workforce-readiness program for 16–24-year-olds. "I am here tonight to specifically speak about our Central Oregon Youth Conservation Corps," Orr said, describing year‑to‑year participation, wages of $16 an hour and how the funds will be used as match for federal awards and to support crew operations.
Councilors asked about previous funding and the organization’s fundraising mix; Orr said the corps pursues diversified grants and partnership support. A motion to approve the requested $2,000 passed after council discussion and a voice vote.
