LTE: Northwest Youth Corp worthy of write-up

Dear Editor,

This is in response to the story about Northwest Youth Corps in your Veteran’s Day issue. We were very glad to see the write-up and that the reporter had contacted Jeff Parker, the NYC director. It is a great group and provides much-needed work experience for teenagers and young adults. Our children and grandchildren have had very rewarding experiences, especially in the five-week camping in the woods program.

I should also mention that there are funds available to help low-income participants.

How to submit Letters to the Editor

Letters to the editor are personal views on local matters of current public debate or interest, generally written in 300 words or less. Letters must be from a local person and of local interest; they cannot attack or call out a person, and not written as a rant. Editors reserve the right to hold letters that use offensive language and mudslinging. Letters are subject to editing for clarity, length and fact-checking.  All letters must be signed and include an address and phone number. Only the name and city will be published. If a letter cannot be verified, it will not be published.  Send to [email protected] or drop it off at The Chronicle office, 655 A St., Suite E, Springfield by noon on Monday to be printed that week.
