Summer Leadership Project (SLP)
Facilitator Position 2023
June 14th to July 28th
About the Org
Vida Verde has a long history of achieving remarkable results through high-quality programs delivered free of charge for 4th-6th grade students. Students interact in the outdoors with their peers and teachers, and they engage in activities meant to nurture positive interpersonal connections, instill a sense of belonging and connection to the natural world, and offer exposure to new and exciting environments and ideas. We are a small, tightly-knit, and exciting organization. Our jobs are the BEST, and so are the people who work here!
With equity as a cornerstone of Vida Verde’s mission, our entire staff intentionally and actively engages in Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI) work. We understand and agree that this work is critical in helping young people access high-quality, culturally relevant and inclusive nature education experiences; experiences that will translate into positive outcomes in their traditional classrooms. (read our full JEDI statement below)
The SLP
Take all of the above and bring it to teens. This is the next level of Vida Verde that students have been asking for! The SLP is a one-week camping trip for high school aged Vida Verde “alumni” - and their peers - designed to empower them to be leaders in their communities and stewards of the natural world.
