Summary
The Mount St. Helens Institute Seasonal Educators facilitate meaningful experiences for our guests, including leading hikes and other educational activities, helping students build confidence and a sense of belonging in the outdoors, and sharing their enthusiasm for Mount St. Helens with our guests.
During the school season from April - June and September - November we serve elementary to high school aged youth for day and overnight field trips. The size of school groups ranges from small groups of 15 people to upwards of 60 people. Summer events hosted by Mount St. Helens Institute (including Family Adventure Camp, Sky & Star Party and Base Camp) are capped at 75 participants. Other programs include GeoGirls (a youth weeklong summer camp), youth groups and other camps. MSHI works to maintain the desired ratio of 1:15 for staff/volunteers to students. Our rental programs and summer events serve people of all ages. We host multiple community events including but not limited to seasonal foraging event series with the Cowlitz Indian Tribe, summer Family Adventure Camps, summer Sky & Star Party, GeoGirls youth summer camp, multiple backcountry running events, and more!
Seasonal Educators will work with a small group of individuals under the direction of the Youth Education & Rental Programs Manager and with the support of the Youth Education & Rental Programs Coordinator. Because we operate in a remote location, we seek applicants who are motivated and self directed.
