PARTNER WITH US
Southeast Conservation Corps (SECC) operates conservation service programs across Tennessee and the Southeast Region that EMPOWER YOUNG PEOPLE TO CULTIVATE COMPASSION, RESPONSIBILITY AND GRIT THROUGH COMMUNITY SERVICE, HARD WORK AND ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP. SECC is based in Chattanooga, TN.
Southeast Conservation Corps aims to continue the legacy of the Civilian Conservation Corps of the 1930s. SECC is focused on connecting youth, young adults and recent era military veterans with conservation service work projects on public lands. Our programs promote personal growth, experiential learning and an ethic of natural resource stewardship, along with hard work.

Partnership Highlight
Lula Lake Land Trust has hired a Southeast Conservation Corps summer intern for the past three years to help fulfill its land management plans. The ease and efficiency of this process has been outstanding. The interns selected have been prepared and professional to act as liaisons for our organization. We have found the overall cost to be affordable and the process to be simple since SECC carries workman's compensation and tax roll expenditures. It has been a fulfilling process to work with future land stewards and help them navigate through the start of their careers."
