The Student Conservation Association launched its first Atlanta community conservation program in 2021. With seed funding from the UPS Foundation, ten high school students came together to design, construct, maintain, and advocate for increased green spaces. Since then, more than 50 youth in the Atlanta metro area have participated in SCA programs.
We offer both school year and summer programs for teens and young adults.
Our school year program takes place on weekdays and weekends.
