In May, Interior Secretary Sally Jewell named SCA to lead the “National Parks of New York Harbor Conservation and Resiliency Corps,” in partnership with the City of New York, to provide approximately 200 hurricane clean-up jobs for young people in the New York-New Jersey region. The pilot project launches what is expected to be a multi-year program for area youth and young adults to assist in the response, recovery and mitigation of Hurricane Sandy damage within the national park units and their partner sites in New York City and New Jersey. The Corps will initially focus on Gateway National Recreation Area and adjoining city parklands at Jamaica Bay.
