Alaska Conservation Corps

The SCA Alaska Trail Corps is a 14-week AmeriCorps program focused on leadership development, completing trail work projects and building a sense of community. As a member of a five-person crew, you will be led by one SCA Project Leader.

Alaska Corps teams live and work together for the duration of their program. The SCA emphasizes the importance of community building and growth in interpersonal skills throughout the program.

The SCA Alaska Women’s Fire Corps is a 14-week AmeriCorps program focused on leadership and skills development, designed to increase the representation of female-identifying and non-binary people in wildland fire. As a member of an eight-person crew, you will be led by two SCA Project Leaders.

The team will undergo Guard School training with the National Park Service and will likely be deployed on one live fire during the season, during which times they will be employed and paid by the NPS.

After the season, members and leaders will be competitive for wildland fire jobs with multiple agencies.
