Alsea School kicked off its 2023 Summer Crew in partnership with Community Services Consortium on July 6.

The Summer Crew program is designed to help students earn money in the summer and continue learning outside the classroom. This year the crew will be working at various sites in Alsea and Benton County. Students are able to earn credit for work-based learning from the school.
