i worked for americorps, but it really depends on what programs they run now in your area. i worked with their watershed project which ran school gardens, field trips, classroom projects and lessons, and really anything that you were excited about. we taught all ages of children, learned ourselves, and made $5000 a year, besides income, toward school. a government project, but it had a lot to offer.

i teach in the classroom now, but i dream of doing the work we did in environmental education. hopefully again soon... have fun!

I am working for a bird protecting society in Germany (called LBV = Landesbund für Vogelschutz in Bayern, which is a NABU partner) See www.lbv-muenchen.de
There are many different possibilities in each country, you just have to find out and start as soon as possible.....
Good luck!

I work for Outward Bound, taking teens on month long wilderness trips. We do environmental ed, and also teach the importance of community and service. I think that restoring our sense of community is critical to solving our environmental problems.

you might check out some of the organizations on www.eelink.net

Awesome!

I am so happy to be writing this email :)

I just switched jobs myself, and will be working as a naturalist with Camp Green Meadows near Yosemite National Park, so I've been doing some major webhunting and it's still fresh in my mind...

First, though, you MUST hurry to get your resume out there because the season starts soon and a lot of people have already done their hiring for the year. So move quick like bunny :)

the most comprehensive is the job feed here:

and other good resources:

natsap.org/jobsearch/

Also, a lot of these positions want you to have Wilderness FIrst Responder training and/or Wilderness First Aid; if you need recommendations or links to these certifications, let me know & I'll pass those on too...

Actually, one last thing: I think you sound young enough that you might still be able to work with SCA (Student Conservation Association). They might rock your world too!

Hope this helps-

i work with children in special education. i am also a conservationist. it is troublesome as the two don't jive sometimes. to become a full time teacher yah have to sacrifice some values, or at least "shelve" some - until you are able to groom your curriculum to access those values that you deem important. the government is getting there - but hampers you by creating a bar for all to get over. environmental ed. is a mere unit or two amongst the other hurdles that constitute the grade.

be patient, treasure those hopes and dreams, until you get into a position where you can unleash them.

i wish you well

Greetings,
My name is Linda and I am Martin's partner. I just read your post and felt moved to respond NOW! We have a program that is just what you speak of. It is called SunFlower Sam and it is to bring to 6th grade level children the awareness of micro-gardening and how easy it is to compost and have a full cycle garden. Check out our web site and let me know of your ideas. www.sunflowersam.org
Thanks,
