Student Conservation Association

The Student Conservation Association is the largest provider of hands-on environmental conservation programs for youth and young adults. Program participants protect and restore national parks, marine sanctuaries, cultural landmarks and urban green spaces across the country. The SCA is devoted to building equitable access to nature by providing green job opportunities for young people and teaching program participants valuable job-readiness skills. Founded in 1957, the SCA is committed to building the next generation of conservation leaders dedicated to the lifelong protection of the environment and the communities we serve.
