Exciting, challenging, rewarding – there is no one word to describe participating in SCC.
You’ll learn, but it will take sweat. You’ll complete great service projects, but it won’t always be easy. You’ll meet some great people, but you won’t always see eye-to-eye. It’s about learning, working hard for the environment and communities, and giving something back. We’re glad you’re interested in joining us.

- Research available opportunities; contact Recruiting Coordinators with any questions.
- Complete the application and send it to the appropriate regional office. Applications can be found online, in our regional offices or can be sent via e-mail or mail.
- A Recruiting Coordinator will respond within a week of application submission affirming that the application was received.
- Recruiting Coodinators will contact individuals selected for the interview process and interviews via phone or in person.
- Final selection decisions are made and information is sent to individuals who are offered a position.
