SCA Fire
Education Corps
SCA's Role: In recent years Fire Management personnel are recognizing
prevention as key to solving this problem. Instead of waiting for fires
to strike they focus on being proactive and taking necessary steps to
protect human life and property - while still allowing fire to play
its role in the ecosystem. The benefits of fire in the ecosystem can
not be realized by citizens who fear that any encroaching fire could
have devastating effects on life and property. This is where SCA fits
in. Since June 2000 SCA interns have played a key role in saving lives,
property and the environment by working within the established National
Fire Plan to educate private land owners on how to protect their lives
and property by creating defensible space.
Your Opportunity: SCA's award winning Fire Education Corps offers opportunities
in many disciplines and interests. These are truly multifaceted and
professional level opportunities to work with federal land management
agencies. Corps members receive unparalleled professional development
and mentoring from SCA staff members. They also become part of the community
in which they serve and are part of a national support network more
than 400 strong. Experiences are geared towards empowering members to
become stronger leaders; to grow professionally and develop real skills.
Corps members finish their service with valuable training and certifications
and professional experience that is coveted by employers nationwide.
Not to mention having the experience of a lifetime!
When and Where: In 2003 SCA's Fire Education Corps had 33 sites in
20 states (WA, OR, CA, MT, ID, UT, NV, AZ, NM, MO, AR, OK, MA, VA, WI,
IN, IL, MN, IA and AK)! We expect to add NJ for fall 2003.
A combination of 9-12 month Team Leader/Individual Placement positions
and 3 month Team Member positions will be available. Team Leaders and
Individual Placements are expected to be available with January 22 and
April 22 start dates. Team Member positions are available with May/June
starts. The opportunity to grow with this program and gain experience
from being a Team Member to a Team Leader and then into a more focused
Individual Placement exists for the right candidates.
To Apply: Submit a cover letter expressing interest with availability
dates, updated resume and names/contact information for two references
to: realinternships@theSCA.org.
You will then be considered for an interview and asked to complete
an SCA application, which can be obtained online at: www.theSCA.org.
Positions in the program will be filled on a rolling admissions basis,
with specific site placements to follow acceptance into the program.
