The SCA is the best way to start a conservation career.

SCA is a nonprofit educational organization founded in 1957 with headquarters in Charlestown, NH and offices in VA, WA and CA. We also offer paid positions as a Conservation Work Crew Leader. In this position, the leader will work with 6-10 high school students on a conservation project located in the backcountry. Another program is our Diversity Internship Program designed specifically for under represented populations. All of our opportunities help students launch their conservation career.
