Mission, Purpose and Programs<\/b><\/p>\n
EarthCorps is a non-profit organization based in Seattle, Washington that develops leaders to strengthen community and restore the health of our environment.\u00a0We believe in the power of people \u2013 acting through their collective responsibility to one another and our planet \u2013 to tackle the most pressing challenges facing our world, and we envision a world in which people and nature thrive together.<\/p>\n
To cultivate this important work, EarthCorps brings together passionate and hardworking aspiring leaders from the US and across the globe for a year-long environmental leadership development program.\u00a0Participants gain hands-on leadership experience, cross-cultural skills and learn technical environmental restoration while building a close-knit community as they care for our natural world.\u00a0These emerging environmental leaders \u201cthink globally and act locally\u201d in leading community volunteers to complete restoration projects such as native tree planting, invasive plant removal, salmon stream restoration, wetland and shoreline restoration and trail construction.<\/p>\n
At the conclusion of the program, these leaders return to their local communities with the skills and enthusiasm required to tackle the pressing issues of our time \u2013 including climate change, pollution and ecological degradation \u2013 to help create a better world for all of us.\u00a0Since its inception in 1993, EarthCorps has trained more than 1,000 environmental leaders from the US and nearly 80 countries around the world.\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
Statement of Solidarity and Commitment to Racial Equity<\/b><\/p>\n
EarthCorps strongly believes in the values of diversity and inclusion.\u00a0We work to ensure that everyone, regardless of who they are or the work they perform for our organization, feels involved and supported in all areas of our operations. In addition to that basic principle, we are striving to become an anti-racist organization.\u00a0We stand in solidarity with the Black community and are deeply committed to racial equity in our internal and external work.<\/p>\n
People of color are disproportionately impacted by environmental hazards, and far too often the organizations that advance environmental work perpetuate similar injustices, excluding people of color from educational and job opportunities in this space.\u00a0A world in which people and nature thrive together requires leaders who understand that social injustice and environmental issues are intertwined, and we will solve neither as a society if we fail to solve both<\/p>\n
The Senior Partnerships Manager is a full-time, senior-level position reporting to the Executive Director.\u00a0This role will focus on building strategic partnerships with environmental groups, municipalities, schools, and youth serving non-profits, particularly those that are BIPOC-led or focused on serving communities of color.\u00a0This individual will work collaboratively with key staff to fund partnership efforts through both fee-for-service and philanthropic funding, developing a funding pipeline that supports our work with partners.\u00a0Examples of partnerships we have previously developed include sending a crew of young adult EarthCorps members to help with creosote debris removal in support of the Samish Indian Nation and providing support for an internship with the Black Farmers Collective.\u00a0It is our goal to expand and deepen these types of efforts. This role requires strategic thinking, an entrepreneurial spirit and strong collaboration skills.<\/p>\n
