PCC Information

High school and college students who volunteer as Outdoor School Student Leaders are eligible to receive Education course credit from Portland Community College for their experience.  This credit is transferable to many other colleges and universities in Oregon, and may transfer to institutes of high learning in other states.

​High school students receive 2 credits in course ED 208: Outdoor School Leadership.

College students receive 3 credits in course ED 214 Practicum: Outdoor School.

The cost for high school students is $25.00 for the two credits.  The cost for college students is the usual per-credit fee charged by PCC.

High school students who volunteer as Student Leaders at Outdoor School can request PCC registration forms from our office.

Credit is only granted to Student Leaders who demonstrate the ability to perform their duties in a positive, mature manner, and who receive written evaluations from Outdoor School staff that recommend their return to Outdoor School to be Student Leaders in the future.
