Southeast Conservation Corps provides members with impactful opportunities through a unique set of programs that engage people in meaningful education and service to their communities and natural landscapes. Since each program is purposeful in design, positions may vary in length, location, focus, and populations served.
SECC’s inaugural crew hit the trail in 2013, built of 6 local teens who spent 4 weeks in the backcountry. Since 2013 we have grown in size and opportunities available. We are proud of our grassroots foundation and strive to instill a sense of pride and ownership into members to carry on the legacy and reputation built by those that served before them.
