Oregon Youth Challenge Career Fair

The Oregon National Guard Youth ChalleNGe Program is an Alternative High School. It is a residential school where cadets (students) live on site for 5 months while attending the military model school. This period is followed by a mandatory 12 month mentor phase back in the community. Eligible individuals are accepted from all 36 counties in Oregon. The school is a non-traditional model that operates similar to a military academy. The program is guided by military principles, structure and discipline. Staff utilize a "Hands Off", tough love, caring, disciplined approach to instill values, train, and instruct cadets. Students are eligible to earn a high school diploma, GED or credit recovery of 8 certified credits if they complete the required class work. The school is accredited by the Northwest Accreditation Commission, approved by the Oregon Department of Education.
Each class is required to write and submit a job application, create a resume, perform a mock interview, and attend a career/opportunities fair. We welcome local businesses and organizations to share your personal journey with the students of OYCP. Some students have never heard of some of the job offerings and or community organizations represented at the OYCP Career Fair. In order to give our students a worldly view of the workforce and greater community we are always looking for local businesses to come and share their perspective with us.
