In Alaska, the SCA Alaska Conservation Corps – an AmeriCorps program focused on leadership development, trail maintenance projects and women’s fire teams – provides youth and young adults opportunities to grow competitive skills to prepare them for future careers in environmental conservation.
Program participants complete hands-on service projects with various federal, state and local agencies across Alaska while receiving professional development training and nationally recognized certifications.
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.
