USFWS Grays Harbor NWR Environmental Ed. Coordinator

This is an Ameri Corps/Washington Service Corps national service position. It is contingent on funding and open until filled. The US Fish and Wildlife Service administers the national wildlife refuges system. We aim to develop an ethic of stewardship by providing access to federal land preserved for conservation. In rural, low-income Grays Harbor County, youth need support to lead active, healthy lives outdoors.

We aim to reconnect them to the benefits of nature generations before them. The Shorebird Education Program at Grays Harbor National Wildlife Refuge serves 3rd and 4th grade classes over the course of a year. The member coordinates the program and collaborates with schools and teachers. Office space at another site and a government vehicle are provided. A valid driver’s license is required.

The member will need to complete defensive driving training within the first month of service (provided by site). This position aligns with the school year. We expect to begin rolling review of applications and interviews in late May. Monthly stipend amount: $3,157.
