Ecology in Classrooms and Outdoors (ECO) mission is to inspire students to care for nature and their local communities through hands-on science education and climate action. ECO strives to create a supportive, flexible work environment that allows our educators to provide the high quality, hands-on, ecology education that ECO is well-known for.

Summary

ECO’s educators are the face of the organization and provide a key connection between our schools, outdoor sites, and students. They create the educational setting and ambiance to help students meaningfully engage with nature. They work closely with the Program Manager to understand our program’s parameters and specifics, from curriculum delivery to outdoor project management. They regularly work on school grounds to maintain student safety and create an engaging and enjoyable outdoor and classroom experience.

Our educators provide indoor, in-school, and outdoor programming at elementary and secondary schools. As an ECO Educator, you will gain a wide variety of knowledge and experience through the quality and depth of our programming. It takes all of us working together and independently to make ECO strong and resilient.
