I live in Oregon and want to work for SCA but I don't see any programs here.

That's the great thing about being an SCA Field Leader, we fly you out to where your project is, and back home again!  If you are in a situation that keeps you from leaving home for extended periods of time, then check out the Community Crew Leader positions.  They are only in select cities, but this is our only 8-5pm job. Sorry, Oregon.
