STREAM~N Team / Engaging Every Student
STREAM~N Team is for youth ages 15–18 who want to help our community and environment. Science, Technology, Research, Engineering, Arts, Math and Nature provide ideas and inspiration.
Funded by Oregon Youth Corps, the first STREAM~N Team began in Oregon City in 2025. We hope to support other groups in the years ahead. The Team meets at times that are most convenient for the group, with an average of 5-10 hours per week in summer and 10-20 hours per month during the school year.
Team members are encouraged to take public transit or provide their own transportation. We may be able to provide transportation, if necessary.
Stipends of $200-$400 are earned for every 20 hours of service work, with bonuses for completing tough challenges.
High school credit can be earned by students attending partner schools.

UA Local 669 Fire Sprinkler Fitters JATC
The 5-year Apprenticeship period is divided into one-year segments, each to include 2,000 hours of on-the-job training and a minimum of 144 hours of related classroom instruction and independent study. The Apprenticeship program blends on-the- job training, hands-on training and virtual training that features online access to 19 courses offered through Washtenaw Community College, a nationally recognized college.
Once an apprentice successfully completes the apprenticeship program and becomes a Journeyman, many opportunities lie ahead. You can work as a foreman, move up to superintendent or even move into management with a company. On the other hand, you can strive to continue building on the most respected labor unions in the construction industry. Being identified as a Sprinkler Fitter is both rewarding and fulfilling.
