2013 Army Corps Visitor Use Survey Leader Team #1: Texas

The Leader Team Program is a new SCA program model that is primarily focused on fulfilling SCA?s mission to create the next generation of conservation leaders.?? Successful completion of this program qualifies a member to serve as an SCA leader themselves, ideally immediately following the Leader Team Program.?

Leader Team Members will first work as part of the leader team for three months in the spring in one location, then (if they graduate) either: take on the Project Leader position for a larger, ?standard? team of Corps members for the three-month summer team in that location, or take on a leader position for another SCA program.?

?The project for this leader team is the Army Corps of Engineers Visitor Use Survey Program (ACE VUS).? This is a two-year-old SCA partnership that provides members a valuable opportunity to help the Army Corps of Engineers monitor the use of its beautiful recreational sites across the country.? Teams will: collect, organize and download interview data; use a schedule of randomly selected sample sites for specific dates; collaborate with SCA leader and ACE staff; maintain proper care of supplies and equipment; and much more.?? The team will also design and carry numerous conservation projects and community service projects, both at the sites they are monitoring and elsewhere in the local community.? This gives the members an opportunity to interact with project staff, develop their leadership skills, and leave a lasting impact in their community.
