FEJCA

Another year, another successful Groundhog Shadow Day! We appreciate the outpouring of support from the US Forest Service, Department of Labor, and all of the participating Job Corps Centers.

The students enjoyed their experience at the US Forest Service, and we look forward to their visit again next year!

Another fantastic photo of all of our visitors during today's Job Shadow Day. It was amazing to see so much drive, passion, and skills in the next generation!

It's intern season at USDA and alumni are welcoming Job Corps students into the workforce. This luncheon introduced interns to the strong Job Corps support system within USDA and provided a network for collaboration.

At the US Forest Service, interns are offered challenging internships that introduce them to and connect them to our land. For urban youth, it is often their first meaningful interaction with natural resources professionals.

Part of FEJCA's mission focuses on offering alumni opportunities to develop and use leadership skills. In May, the USDA branch of FEJCA attended training at Grey Towers - the historical home of first Forest Service leader Gifford Pinchot.

Skills gained will be used to progress our mission as we continue reaching back to pay it forward.
