Along with litter pickup activities and a strong emphasis on recycling, the EYC program in this
region places an important emphasis on the environmental education of its crew members.
Participants will take part in discussions, projects and inter-crew competitions on environmental
issues such as waste reduction, pollution, energy and water conservation, biodiversity, and
sustainability. Tours will be led to Spokane's Waste-to-Energy plant, as well as, fish hatcheries,
recycling centers, aluminum can smelters, or other places of environmental significance. Some
crews may spend time working at the recycling center or delivering an anti-litter message to the
general public at fairs, parks, or rest areas.
NOTE: In this region former EYC crew members may reapply, though each crew may
only have up to one returning worker.

There is only one median crew in the Eastern Region.
This crew is based in Ritzville and operates from March
through May and September through November. The pay is
$10 per hour and
the crew works four-tens, Monday through Thursday each week. Litter pickup along highway
medians, interchanges, illegal dumps, and other areas off-limits to youth crews comprise the
bulk of the work load.
NOTE: There are currently two openings on this crew.
PLEASE CALL 509-329-3434 FOR A MEDIAN CREW APPLICATION FORM
Each year the Eastern Region employs about a dozen supervisors. Most supervisors return year
after year, and several have been returning for more than fifteen years. One even traces
employment back to the mid-seventies when the program first formed. In most years there are
several openings, however, and interviews usually take place in March or April. Successful
candidates then turn around to help interview applicants for their respective crew positions,
and then, along with the program coordinator, meet the new crew members and their parents to
share information about the program and complete the required paperwork.
During the third week of June the supervisors gather in Spokane for a week of intensive training
to include First Aid/CPR, Sexual Harassment, Defensive Driving, Hazard Recognition and Safety
Set-ups. The following Monday most of the supervisors begin work with their crews, though some
supervisors must wait four weeks until the second session begins before heading out with their
crews. After the first four weeks some supervisors will have ended their summer work, while
others will get a new group.
NOTE: There are Youth Crew Supervisor openings for the
2008 summer season in the following locations:
Supervise 6 teens on a litter pickup/recycling/environmental education project this summer.
Job will run full-time for 5 weeks: June 16-20, 2008 orientation in Spokane and either June 23-July 18 AND/OR July 21-August 15, 2008 supervising teens out of crew base location.
$12.77 - $16.45/hour (anticipated 2% pay increase July 1, 2008), state vehicle and fuel provided for work and commute. Clean driving record mandatory.
Minimum Qualifications - HS diploma or GED. Two years supervisory experience with youth in a labor-intensive environment. Two years of college course work in social sciences, education, or resource conservation or related field may substitute for required experience. Call Gary Lambacher at 509-329-3506 for an application.
Closing date: May 1, 2008
