TerraCorps Youth Education Coordinator

The Natick Community Organic Farm is a nonprofit, certified-organic farm. Founded in 1975, we provide productive open space, farm products and hands-on education for all ages, year-round. Our farm-based educational programs are rich in community and connection, both with each other and the natural world.

The Natick Community Organic Farm (NCOF) will host a TerraCorps Youth Education Coordinator for the 2022-23 service year. Information about all TerraCorps positions is available at https://terracorps.org/.

We farm in the public eye. Visitors to the farm learn what food looks like before it is processed or packaged. We demonstrate how to take good care of the land and our livestock, and are passionate about educating future farmers about stewardship, animal husbandry, agriculture, and ecology.

Youth Education Coordinators (YEC) build the long-term capacity of their Service Site by engaging youth in service learning, experiential education, and inquiry-based science and nature learning projects. They collaborate with schools, libraries, and youth groups on projects that connect young people to the natural world, improve science literacy, and encourage healthy lifestyles. By serving with youth in an outdoor learning environment, they reinforce the connection between people, nature, and community and foster an inclusive land stewardship ethic in future generations.
