Founded in 1957, the SCA is devoted to building access to nature, providing green job opportunities for young people and teaching members how to become environmental stewards. The SCA has provided more than 100,000 young people with opportunities to protect and restore parks, marine sanctuaries, cultural landmarks and community green spaces across the country. The SCA remains committed to building the next generation of conservation leaders dedicated to the lifelong protection of the environment and our communities.
POSITIONDESCRIPTION Position Summary
The SCA is looking to backfill a team member position on the 2025 Table Rock Fire Crew, which began in January 2025 and will be in the field until 8/23/25. Strong candidates will already have a current red card (or could renew a lapsed red card).
The Table Rock Crew is a dynamic and exciting opportunity for those interested in wildland firefighting. This team is made up of one Primary Lead, one Assistant Lead, and six crew members. The team will assist with prescribed burns and other projects with dedicated U.S. Forest Service operational overhead.
The primary objectives for this crew will be prescribed burning, fuels reduction, and wildfire response. The crew will prepare US Forest Service (USFS) lands across Region 8 for burning, conduct prescribed burning, and work on other conservation tasks as identified by USFS. Prescribed burning is condition-dependent and members may be required to work long hours and/or weekends depending on direction from the partner.
Members will not work more than 80 hours over a two week period (unless deployed in wildfire response). Throughout the season, the crew will have opportunities to support wildfire response. During such times, team members' service with SCA will be paused, and crew members will be compensated at USFS AD rates. Members should expect to work longer days (14+ hour days) while on wildfire assignments.
