Led by the Kansas Association for Conservation and Environmental Education (KACEE), the Environmental Education Corps (eeCorps) AmeriCorps Program places AmeriCorps members at organizations throughout Kansas to focus on increasing environmental literacy for PreK-12 students and building capacity for environmental education in the region. eeCorps works directly with teachers, schools, and environmental education providers to support them in expanding the reach and increasing the impact of EE programming, while providing access to equitable learning experiences for all PreK-12 students. 

This position will be located at the Great Plains Nature Center in Wichita, KS. Serving the city of Wichita and the surrounding areas, the Great Plains Nature Center sits on Chisholm Creek Park, a nature oasis in the middle of the city with 280 acres of prairies, wetlands, and woodlands, viewable from walking trails. 

Inside the nature center are exhibits focused on healthy habitats and live animal ambassadors on display, which are used for environmental education programs. Special events, field trips, weekly programs, and outreach provides the community with free, hands-on nature based learning. You will also support teachers in carrying environmental education into their classrooms.
