CultureSeed's Outdoor Economy program is an emergent effort to co-create opportunities with our Outdoor Partners for youth to learn and earn. We are seeking unique opportunities in the outdoor field—be it in tourism, conservation, forestry, professional sports-based mentorship, gear manufacturing, sustainable farming, outdoor leadership learning, and other possibilities.

Many of these opportunities aren't readily available, and CultureSeed will work with potential partners to create and support training, internships or employment. Our goal is to have signature opportunities for youth in the Outdoor Economy, diversifying and strengthening our outdoor community.

If you are interested in exploring how you can support a CultureSeed youth in gaining knowledge and skills in the outdoor field please fill out the application below. One recent example of a CultureSeed Outdoor Economy partnership is a Bike Mechanic Summer Internship with evo in Hood River, OR.

We are actively exploring how to create training and/or intern partnerships in the Columbia Gorge region of the Pacific Northwest, but we’re open to nation wide possibilities that can fully support youth travel. We look forward to hearing from you!
