VOC'S PROGRAM FOR YOUTH AGES 14-18
Founded in 2008, Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado (VOC)'s Cairn Program engages 15-20 students throughout the school year in monthly outdoor activities and stewardship projects across the Front Range. Led by young adult mentors, students develop leadership skills, make new friends, learn about environmental issues facing Colorado, explore career paths, and have a hands-on impact as they plan and lead their own stewardship project (think trail building, planting, habitat restoration and more)!
