The posting

POSITION DESCRIPTION

The Student Conservation Association (SCA), in partnership with the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), is looking for motivated, team-oriented high school students to join the Pennsylvania Outdoor Corps this summer.

Crew members work alongside a small team of peers to make a real, hands-on difference on Pennsylvania’s public lands, completing trail, habitat, and facility projects in state parks and forests. Each crew is supervised by two trained adult crew leaders or a solo leader.

Along the way, members earn a paycheck, build practical job skills, and take part in environmental education and team-building activities that connect their work to careers in conservation, natural resource management, and outdoor recreation.

Hours – 37.5 hours/week
