In an article by Idaho Trails Association Youth Program:
Our new ITA Youth Program provides opportunities for youth ages 14-18 to learn about the outdoors while building and maintaining hiking trails in a safe, teamwork-oriented environment throughout the state of Idaho. In addition, students will have the opportunity to acquire the knowledge, values, attitudes, commitment and skills needed to protect and improve the environment and to create new patterns of behavior as a whole towards the environment. This Youth Program is made possible by a grant from the Wood River Women’s Foundation, a Philanthropic Gift Fund of the Idaho Community Foundation.
