Dear SCA Friend,
 
The summer field season is almost upon us! But before we can send thousands of students into parks and green spaces, we've got to meet our Million Dollar Challenge – for every dollar you give through May 31st, the National Park Service will provide an additional three dollars towards the cost of sending SCA volunteers into the parks this season.

If you like this month's stories about Victor and Olivia, please consider helping more students get to work and begin a lifetime of conservation service. Act now, and have your gift tripled before midnight May 31st!
