Indian Youth Service Corps (IYSC) Guidelines

Excerpt:  “The intent of the IYSC Program is to expand opportunities for Tribes to participate in Public Land Corps activities and to provide a direct benefit to members of federally recognized Indian Tribes or Alaska Native corporations. The IYSC Program will provide meaningful educational, employment, and training opportunities to its participants through conservation projects on eligible service land – public lands and Indian lands. The following guidelines are intended to be used by Tribes and Federal agencies to develop IYSC programs and to support the implementation of IYSC projects. IYSC programs themselves are crucial components in furthering the Departments’ overall goal of helping to increase Tribal engagement in environmental stewardship activities, including the participation of individual members of Tribes.”
