SCA Alaska

Our Alaska Corps Teams are placed in the breathtaking wilderness of Alaska, where team members work in some of the most remote and stunning landscapes on Earth.

Whether you’re building trails through the vast tundra of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, preventing forest fires in the wild, or restoring critical wildlife habitats, you’ll be immersed in real-world conservation work in one of the last untamed places in the U.S.

Teams typically live together in tents and work on short-term, focused projects known as “hitches” that are guided by SCA field leaders. Alaska’s diverse ecosystems, from the rugged coastlines of the Kenai Peninsula to the majestic mountain ranges of Denali, provide the perfect setting for developing practical skills in conservation while experiencing the great outdoors like never before.

SCA offers a variety of individual placements in Alaska, where you’ll be involved in some of the state’s most vital environmental efforts.

Whether you’re monitoring the iconic salmon runs along the Kenai River, one of the world’s most stunning natural landmarks, or hosting visitor presentations featuring champion Alaska sled dogs in Denali National Park, you’ll gain hands-on experience while exploring some of the most pristine and rugged landscapes on the planet.

This is your chance to contribute directly to preserving Alaska’s wilderness, from its vast forests to its intricate river systems, all while living in some of the most spectacular outdoor environments in the world.
