“(Middle school-age) is a great population of students to work with, they are so eager to get to know and learn from you. This age is a time of learning who you want to be and as leaders we get to be a part of that journey. We have a lot of influence on these students, and I absolutely love learning from them every time I am with them.”

“My internship with the REV has given me a greater understanding and appreciation for forestry and agricultural based industries in rural Oregon communities, and the impacts that sustainable forest practices and holistic economic development have on those communities' well being. It has solidified my interest and passion for economics, and influenced me to focus on rural economic development as a career.”
