2026 SCA Virtual Conservation Career Fair

February 17, 2026 12 -5 pm EST

Let’s move conservation forward, together!

At the SCA, our mission is to build the next generation of conservation leaders and inspire lifelong stewardship of the environment and communities by engaging young people through hands-on service projects. We seek to expand career pathways for all youth and young adults​ by eliminating barriers to participation in conservation.

Each year, our Virtual Conservation Career Fair expands these efforts as a continuum of accessible support for members and alums (like you!) to meet with employers and educational organizations, participate in professional development sessions, network with others passionate about conservation, and so much more.

Tuesday, February 17, 2026, 12:00 pm - 5:00 pm ET.
Alumni, current members, or those interested in opportunities with the SCA are encouraged to register! If you are looking for a job, seeking professional development opportunities, hoping to network, or if all three apply to you, be sure to join us! There will be opportunities for all, no matter where you are at in your career journey.
The career fair is free to all registrants. If hosting an employer or educational booth is of interest, there is a potential fee associated. For more information on hosting a booth, please contact Nicole Riley, Senior Manager, Alumni Relations, at nriley@thesca.org.
First, you’ll need to register for the fair and plan to log-in on Tuesday, February 17, 2026. All you’ll need is a reliable internet connection, a computer or tablet, and an up-to-date browser. No special software is required; the event will run entirely through your web browser (we recommend using Google Chrome). You can log in and out as you need to throughout the day.
Be sure to build your profile to the best of your ability after registering to help your information stand out to booth representatives. We will be offering “Prepare for the Fair” sessions that we encourage you to sign up for once information is available that will go over navigating the technology within the fair and what to expect day of. These sessions will also offer a first look at resources provided by our participating booths. We suggest that you come into the day with a plan by deciding what sessions you would like to attend, questions you might like to ask, when you would like to view booths, and when you are available to schedule times to talk with booth representatives if of interest.
All sessions will be recorded and available for on-demand viewing for registered attendees for 30 days after the event. Though, for the best event experience, we encourage you to register so you can view content during the live event. This will allow you to connect live with other attendees and booth representatives.
