Skagit Fisheries Enhancement Group
"We partner with WSC because we believe in the career exploration and mentorship of the program, and we love helping future conservation professionals discover new paths for conserving our world. Our volunteers are inspired by our WSC members and their dedication to service. The younger volunteers look up to the WSC members and the older volunteers love seeing the next generation of stewardship professionals. We all look forward to meeting the new members and seeing them continue their career pathway to success!”
Dungeness River Nature Center
“The River Center has a rich legacy of partnering with Washington Service Corps. The former Director was an AmeriCorps member at the Center back in the early 2000s and the current Education Manager served two years as well. It’s important to staff that we “pay it forward” and provide opportunities for people to serve within the community and gain professional experience in the environmental field. heir passion for the environment and inspiring the next generation of stewards has made a positive impact on the community. The River Center is lucky to have AmeriCorps members serve and support our mission to inspire understanding, respect, and stewardship of our natural and cultural resources.
Institute of Systems Biology
"Thanks to our partnership with the Washington Service Corps/AmeriCorps, we are now able to provide opportunities to every student who applies.
