Director of Education

The Education Director will provide programmatic leadership and strategic vision, ensuring that our education programs, whether for youth, families, or adults, are place-based, inclusive, and deeply tied to our conserved lands, trails, and local waterways. This role blends hands-on leadership, team mentorship, and long-term planning with a great deal of direct teaching and instruction, all with the chance to make a tangible impact in the Damariscotta–Pemaquid region.

Why this role is exciting:
● Lead a well-established, high-quality education program and shape its next chapter.
● Engage directly with children, families, and community members to inspire curiosity,
connection, and stewardship of Midcoast Maine’s special places.
● Collaborate across departments on programs that link education, conservation, and public
engagement.
● Be part of a values-driven, mission-focused organization that prioritizes equity, inclusion, and
fostering love of place in a unique coastal community.

week, with flexibility required during peak program periods, including the summer camp season and
occasional evenings or weekends.
