A unique and important program, Sc3 recognizes and empowers the next generation of conservationists to become global leaders in their own community. Sc3 Fellows learn from world-renown experts, develop environmental, social and economic interconnections, and create year-long Commitments to meet 21st century challenges. They continue to connect with their Cohorts, coordinators and experts on an on-going basis for the year following the Congress to implement their Personal Action Plans. One century ago, Pres. Theodore Roosevelt envisioned a global conservation corps that would reach and motivate every corner of society. See how Sc3 Fellows and others are realizing this vision. Learn More >

Sc3 inspires the highest praise. Take a minute to look at Past Speakers, read the 2012 Nomination Letter and the inaugural Letter from U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer, and hear what Student and Faculty Fellows have said about their Sc3 experience.

We hope you will join us for this amazing week-long journey to discover truth and reconnect with place.

Sincerely,

"Sc3 opened my eyes to the vast network of students and teachers working on greening their schools, taught me the skills to affect change in my own community, and gave me a framework for continued learning and support. The inspiration I receive each time I go to Sc3 powers me through the inherent challengs of making real change happen. I have created lasting friendships from the program and we all use each other as resources for information and ideas. It's an incredible learning environment that I can't recommend enough."

“Sc3 is one of the most OUTSTANDING OPPORTUNITIES both I and my daughter Michaela have ever experienced. For many of the youth we serve, this is one of the most enabling and empowering events with access to some of the most notable names / change-makers in a true, state of the art, college like setting - offering the potential to be a transformational collaborative and collective experience with unlimited and exponential potential.”
