THE CORPS NETWORK(NASCC)

US FISH & WILDLIFE SERVICE
Through the USF&WS Partners for Fish and Wildlife program, SAGA teams have helped to restore streams and wetlands in the Southeastern Region of Alaska. These projects have been among the most rewarding for our teams to serve on as they can see the benefit to their environment of their labors almost immediate=ly, and because Fish and Wildlife staff are so supportive and appreciative!
NATIONAL PARK SERVICE
SAGA corpsmembers perform priority projects on various parks in our beautiful state, from the Klondike National Historic park in Skagway, to magnificent Denali, with Katmai and Kenai Fjords in between.
US FOREST SERVICE
Our first partner in 1986 was the Juneau Ranger District in the beautiful Tongass National Forest. We are proud to continue to perform services on not only the Tongass and Admiralty National Monument, but also on the Chugach National Forest as well. Serve Alaska Youth Corps crews help maintain public use trails and facilities throughout the state by an Agreement with all of Region 10.
ALASKA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND PUBLIC WORKS
The Department of Transportation has engaged Serve Alaska Youth Corps crews to enhance the safety and maintenance of Alaskan highways by performing tasks ill-suited to mechanized efforts. For several years, the support of the department has allowed SAGA to serve the needs of young people from many regions and communities throughout the state.
ALASKA STATE PARKS
Our corpsmembers serve in some of the most beautiful places on earth! Each field season our ASC and SAYC teams work in several parks in the state system performing a lot of trail work and public facility enhancements.
