Full-Time Youth Education Coordinator (TerraCorps)

CitySprouts – Posted by CitySprouts Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States

Job Description

TerraCorps cultivates an ecosystem of people and organizations that center community land ownership, access, and stewardship to support a diversity of interests that benefit human health and environmental sustainability. We value the power of local nonprofits to best understand and serve their communities. Our goal is to help them succeed by providing them access to the AmeriCorps national service model to build organizational capacity. TerraCorps partners with a network of 40+ nonprofits in Massachusetts and Rhode Island focused on community needs related to local land conservation and sustainable agriculture. These partners act as service sites for a new cohort of up to 60 AmeriCorps service members annually. Service members are paired with a site supervisor who provides guidance and mentorship while they learn to manage community programs and projects over an 11-month, 1,700-hour service term.

CitySprouts is interviewing candidates for a Youth Education Coordinator (YEC). The YEC will engage with the Program Director to manage volunteers on community service projects, educate or train individuals in environmental stewardship or environmentally conscious practices, and complete three capacity building projects. Potential projects include:

  • Serve in elementary schools with our garden educators (GEs), supporting them in providing instruction in our gardens.
  • Facilitate CitySprouts’ second annual School Gardens Gathering, engaging in everything from recruiting participants, to arranging logistics of the event, to being on hand the day of the event to ensure that it runs smoothly.
  • Improve Youth Out-of-School Programming by co-facilitating after school programming one day a week, and helping program staff to prepare for our youth summer sessions, particularly by deepening and solidifying our many partnerships.
