Nisqually River Education Project Seeks an Americorps Member!

Nisqually River Education Project is excited to announce that we are seeking an AmeriCorps Environmental Educator for the 2023-24 school year. This position begins September 1, 2023 and ends July 15, 2024. Applicants are encouraged to apply now. Applications are accepted until the position is filled.

Do you love connecting kids with nature? Sharing your passion for the environment with kids? Working with a fun, dynamic team? Teaching youth how to make the world a better place? Consider applying for our AmeriCorps position! From the snowy slopes of Mt Rainier, along the banks of the Nisqually River, and all the way down to the salty shores of our Puget Sound beaches, we engage 4th-12th grade students in environmental education, stewardship, and recreation activities.

The Environmental Education Member will work with over 40 teachers and more than 2,000 students in service learning field trips ranging from water quality monitoring, riparian habitat restoration, salmon tossing, field investigations on Puget Sound beaches, explorations of the local wildlife refuge to monitor wildlife and learn ethnobotany, volunteering at the local salmon hatchery, removing invasive species and more. Their aim will be to foster a sense of place and empower students and adults to connect with their local environments to create positive change through hands-on, outdoor learning projects supported with in-class lessons.
