Galveston Bay Foundation seeks an Environmental Educator

GBF seeks multiple part-time Environmental Educators to assist our Environmental Education Team in delivering classroom and field-based Environmental STEM Education programs in the 2023-2024 school year. GBF’s Environmental STEM Education programs provide classroom and place-based educational experiences focused on Galveston Bay to over 10,000 students and teachers each year. The objectives of the programs are to instill knowledge and appreciation of the Galveston Bay ecosystem, inspire participants to break down barriers and open themselves to new experiences, and empower students to become life-long advocates for a resilient Galveston Bay. The selected applicants can expect to work 0-24 hours a week on an as-needed basis in a variety of classroom and field environments. They will assist with program preparation, implementation, and cleanup while being mentored by our education staff. Staff schedules are planned a month in advance, and working occasional weekends is possible.
Educators will be trained in field safety, group management, and specific activities and lessons for education programs. Applicants will not be required to create new programs or activities.
