Position Duties: <\/b>Environmental Education Fellows will assist with Hood Canal Salmon Enhancement Group\u2019s youth education programs focused on watershed health, salmon recovery, sustainable agriculture, and ecosystem stewardship. HCSEG\u2019s summer programs, including Explore the Fjord and Farm Stewards, are offered on a sliding scale and serve students from low-income, rural communities and attending Title I schools. The goal of these programs is to open students\u2019 eyes to future careers in the environmental field with family-sustaining salaries and to prepare the next generation of stewards for the environmental questions they will one day inherit. Fellows will coordinate and educate students in the field and support program outreach. Fellows will lead public interpretation of HCSEG sites to encourage community support for HCSEG programs. Opportunities to assist with other HCSEG programs will be provided with the goal that fellows translate their experiences into hands-on learning opportunities for youth.
