The Colorado Youth Corps Association is a coalition of eleven youth corps. We connect local youth corps programs to funders and public land managers. We coordinate statewide youth corps activities and promote youth corps to local, state, and national audiences. We develop resources for local corps sustainability, and have created youth corps in un-served areas of the state.
