The SCA NH Corps is one of Student Conservation Association’s oldest residential corps programs. The Interns are housed in historic cabins at Bear Brook State Park while dedicating a year of their lives to performing direct service. These highly motivated 18-25 year olds enhance and protect the state’s natural areas as well as provide extensive environmental education in the Manchester area. The overall experience develops a strong ethic of active citizenship and practical conservation techniques. Projects served by the SCA NH Corps touch the lives of tens of thousands of people.
