This project addresses the public purposes of 1) providing opportunities to alleviate poverty through providing employment opportunities for youth interested in public land and conservation; 2) providing youth from under-represented areas of Tucson opportunities to gain professional development in career tracks they may not have traditionally considered available to them; 3) providing opportunities for youth to learn about the environment by spending time working on and completing conservation projects in national parks; 4) motivating youth to become involved in natural resource protection of their communities and beyond, and engage in hands-on experience; 5) gaining and disseminating new scientific knowledge; and 6) assisting in the promotion and improvement of the public's understanding of natural resources and conservation.
