"The Student Conservation Association was good to me and helped me
launch my volunteer work at Cape Cod. I've noticed that there's a
strong connection between the organization and good people doing good
things. I want to help sustain and grow that connection."

Here’s what SCA participants and partners have said about the impact of SCA programs:
“We
all live on this fragile planet. We have been so blessed with this
land, and if we don't take care of it, the consequences will be
staggering.”
Elizabeth Titus Putnam
SCA Founder
“The
National Park Service can't do without SCA. You're helping to preserve
our cultural and natural resources, but you're also helping to teach
leadership and how to be good citizens."
Fran Mainella
National Park Service Director
"I am not the same person I was
just a few weeks ago. That’s what a month in the Mojave Desert will do
to you. I learned so much out there. I think a lot more about what I’m
doing and how my actions affect the world around me. I’m much more
conservation-conscious now. I also returned home much more confident
and aware of my own abilities."
Jessie Tamayo, 16

"From
Acadia to Zion, the Student Conservation Association plays a vital role
in preserving America's national parks and in providing a quality
experience for visitors. Throughout my career with the National Park
Service and especially during my service as Director, SCA's volunteers
accomplished what no one else could do."
Bob Stanton
Former Director, National Park Service
“As
always, I have a strong positive impression of SCA. They provide a
positive experience for volunteers and provide much-needed,
much-appreciated staffing support for agencies. SCA is an important
source of highly qualified, intelligent motivated young people.”
