For over six decades, the Student Conservation Association (SCA) has been the leading conservation partner of resource managers across America. We help our partners complete critical projects, from a single intern conducting wetlands surveys to a trio of interpretive specialists leading nature walks or a team of 10 restoring an ailing habitat.
The SCA’s talent pool is diverse, motivated, and highly qualified. Partners routinely report that SCA members exceed expectations while infusing their workplaces with new energy and renewed focus. Our robust and proven recruiting process identifies candidates with the skills and abilities specific to your positions and meeting your particular conservation objectives.
By partnering with the SCA, you’ll help build the next generation of conservation leaders and possibly discover your next hire. We place thousands of youth and young adults in team and individual placements in all 50 states and a range of U.S. territories.

“We keep coming back to the SCA because the process is so smooth and we get a great selection of candidates.”
“Without the support of this position, we would not have been able to have as large of a reach to our desired audience, both in-person and distance learning. The work this position supports is crucial to sharing the mission of our refuge with visitors.”
