LAVA BEDS NATIONAL MONUMENT — After a two-year hiatus Lava Beds National Monument will again offer its Youth Conservation Corp (YCC) summer youth employment program this summer.

Angela Sutton, park ranger and volunteer coordinator, said the program is for young men and women aged 15 to 18 who “work and learn together by participating in conservation work on public lands.” The program is expected to begin on Monday, June 20, and will run four to eight weeks, depending upon available funding.
