Your contribution directly supports programming, staffing, crew stipends, tools, travel, safety—and fun! You can choose to donate to the YCC Endowment Fund for long-term sustainability or to the San Juan Islands Conservation District operating budget to help cover the $80k funding gap in 2025 and ensure the program’s continued success.

​

YCC Endowment Fund

YCC is embarking on an ambitious campaign to establish a $1.5 million endowment by 2030, ensuring program stability for generations. The fund is being held at the San Juan Island Community Foundation, but is not restricted to supporting only the San Juan Island crew, so donors from other islands are encouraged to contribute to this fund, too. Donations can be made in many ways such as cash, publicly traded stocks and bonds, treasury notes, and more. A tax receipt will be provided by the Community Foundation.

YCC Operating Budget 

Help sustain YCC’s current day-to-day operations by donating through the San Juan Islands Conservation District and specifying Youth Conservation Corps. Choose to support specific projects (e.g., collaborations with SJC Land Bank, or work with island marble butterfly), general program needs (e.g., crew stipends, program coordination, travel), or without restrictions.
