The Washington Department of Ecology’s Northwest Regional Office plans to hire 70 teenagers across Northwest Washington this summer as part of the Ecology Youth Corps.
Teens chosen for the program will be assigned to one of six crews based in King, Skagit, Snohomish and Whatcom counties.
Ecology Youth Corps crews picked up 1.1 million pounds of litter and cleaned 5,244 miles of roads statewide. Since 1975, the program has hired more than 12,000 Washington teens, offering them work experience and a summer job.
Teens chosen for EYC will work up to 37.5 hours per week, either 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, or 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. four days per week. Participants will work one of two sessions: June 28 to July 22, or July 25 to Aug. 17, and will earn $11 an hour.
Applicants must be ages 14-17 as of June 28. Applications are due by April 13 and are available through area school counselors or online.
