SCC Welcomes New Los Valles Staff Member!

Southwest Conservation Corps would like to welcome Megan Strauss to the Los Valles Region Team! Megan is joining SCC fresh from an AmeriCorps term in the Northwest. She grew up in Texas and received an undergraduate degree from Texas A&M for psychology. Intent on making the world a better place, she pursued her Masters in Social Work from the University of Texas. After graduation Megan joined an AmeriCorps trail team in the Wenatchee National Forest with Northwest Service Academy – Mt. Adams Center. She had such an amazing time living in the outdoors and doing service that she dedicated another year to AmeriCorps and NWSA through an Environmental Internship Program. Most recently, the allure of more adventure, service and sun brought Megan to Salida where she will spend the rest of her days playing with her dog, exploring mountains, splashing around in the Arkansas River and making sure that SCC members have the best darn experience of their lives.
