Hands On eNewsletter — June 2013

Dear {Friend},

SCA’s Summer of Service is officially underway, kicked off by an awesome array of Founder’s Day events that also marked our 56th anniversary.

Below we highlight Founding President Liz Putnam’s inspiring return to the national park where she launched the youth conservation movement, as well as an insider’s view of Saturday’s Servapalooza on The National Mall.

And don’t miss a new video from our Hurricane Sandy recovery team – you won’t believe the incredible journey one volunteer made to aid New York parks.

These are just some of the thousands of SCA members now heading out to protect America’s parks, forests and urban green spaces.

Plus, find out which qualities employers want – and that SCA service instills.
