Partnership Collaboration

Partnership/collaboration with the USDA Francis Marion National Forest Service Ranger District, working in conjunction with Janna Dupre, Deputy Director of the Sewee Visitor’s Center. This Agreement commenced in 2014 through September 30, 2016. Whereas the USDA contributed a total of $11,680 to AROC. Through that generous contribution we were able to hire in school youths, transform their lives, and put them on the road to a positive and rewarding future. In 2016 we were elated to learn that our agreement was extended until June 30, 2019. Unfortunately, no funding came with that through personal contributions we were able to offer what a Natural Resource agency does. Providing these young people, a view unto a world they might not see otherwise, and what opportunities may awaits them, as the future leaders of tomorrow, such as a Forester, hydrologist, Soil Scientist, Recreation leader, and the endless opportunities, in the world of fishers, Botanist, and finally, the number of youths we served in our partnership collaboration from 2014-2015 was 12 in-school youths from Charleston, Berkeley Counties that gained valuable work experience and of the 19 in-school youths.
