About the STEP program: The STEP program is a year-round job readiness program designed to provide youth with education, job skills and career development training. Work focuses on addressing community needs; team projects may include forest enhancement, trail construction, habitat restoration, organizing community building events and mixed media projects. The program combines on-the-job work experience, environmental education, safety education and career development training. Participants develop positive work habits, strong team building and communication skills, as well as learning a sound cultural awareness of the environment and their communities.
