Conservation Education Fellow VISTA;

Great Peninsula Conservancy (GPC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit land trust dedicated to protecting the natural habitats, rural landscapes, and open spaces of the Great Peninsula region of west Puget Sound, Washington. GPC’s important work is accomplished through conservation, stewardship, and community engagement. The Great Peninsula Conservancy (GPC) Land Labs program utilizes local protected lands to enhance the quality of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) education local schools.

The program engages students directly in big picture environmental concerns affecting their local communities, and opens students’ eyes to professional opportunities in the environmental science field. The Land Labs program will help students from low-income families and underachieving schools prepare for success in post-secondary education and careers in STEM with family-sustaining salaries. By creating a pathway toward economic opportunity, the program supports Ameri Corps VISTA's poverty-alleviating goals.

For more information, visit Great Peninsula Conservancy’s website (greatpeninsula.org).

The Conservation Education Fellow VISTA will build internal capacity for GPC’s Land Labs program by developing systems, tools, and resources that support staff‑led education, outreach, and partnership work. The VISTA will strengthen program infrastructure and will not deliver instruction, conduct outreach, coordinate partnerships, or implement education programs. The VISTA will develop curriculum templates and planning tools for staff; create internal processes that support staff preparation of educator trainings;

build systems for lesson review, version control, and curriculum tracking; develop internal communication tools, resource libraries and educator support materials; map stakeholder engagement strategies and communication pathways; and create evaluation and data‑tracking tools that support long‑term program improvement. All instructional delivery, outreach, relationship building, training facilitation, and field‑based work will remain staff responsibilities.
