Instead of the 13 AmeriCorps volunteers Teton Science School expected to host this summer, there will be eight. The school is going out of its way to continue the program, even at reduced capacity and without typical funding help after the Trump administration cut funding for over half of AmeriCorps programs nationwide earlier this month. Executive Director Wane Turner is trying to stay optimistic and said it’s a chance to evaluate how effective the early-career educators teach and are taught.

Restaurants, grocery stores and schools in Teton County have a new incentive to reduce food waste. A grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will give participants a 50% discount on monthly composting fees through May 2026. Currently, composting food waste costs between $65 and $260 per month, depending on the size and amount of the waste. By subsidizing those costs, county officials hope to both ease the financial burden and expand participation in the program.
