Since 2009, SCYP has opened pathways that connect a broad range of Oregon cities and agencies to the innovative, expansive, and energetic brainpower of the University of Oregon. These relationships help create outcomes that extend well beyond the yearlong partnership. The impact of SCYP continues for many years not only as student recommendations come to fruition, but also as students enter the workforce prepared for careers in service to Oregon communities. SCYP is much more than a one-year project with a student – it's a connection to the University of Oregon and a platform for a sustainable future.
