 Ramsey County board members and staff had the opportunity to meet with staff and youth participants of the Tree Trust program.
Last week we got to learn more about the work that Tree Trust is doing in our community, specifically at Tamarack Nature Center. My aide was able to attend the event and hear from some of the young people involved in the program.
This partnership is part of the County's young adult employment program, which provides employment and training opportunities to low-income and/or at-risk young adults. Services provided by vendors include career planning, job search assistance, paid work experience and assistance with tuition costs. Learn more about the program here.
