Summary
Dunes Learning Center is the nonprofit education partner of Indiana Dunes National Park and the leader of environmental education in the area. We serve a diverse community and seek a diverse workforce. Dunes Learning Center is an equal opportunity provider and does not discriminate.
Environmental Education Fellows are key members of the Dunes Learning Center team and are responsible for providing meaningful experiences for children and adults regarding the diversity of ecosystems and cultural history of the Indiana Dunes all year long. They help students create connections, build confidence, and develop a sense of place by providing opportunities to explore, ask questions, reflect and work together as a team. The Post-Graduate Fellowship program provides an opportunity for next generation leaders to receive training and coaching to develop their naturalist, outdoor education, and resource interpretation skills and techniques. Fellows often work in pairs during the summer to give each the opportunity to shadow peers and provide/receive feedback. During the school year, Fellows have opportunities to extend their professional development through workshops, in-services, and shadowing National Park Service staff. Bachelor's degree, or some formal education with equivalent experience required to apply.
