Environmental Volunteers is hiring a part-time EcoCenter Programs Coordinator, someone with big “fun camp counselor” vibes who can lead with warmth, enthusiasm, and a sense of play. You’ll be the friendly face welcoming families during open hours, guiding nature walks, and running hands-on science programs at our nature center, located in the Palo Alto Baylands.

If you love working with kids but are comfortable talking to all ages, enjoy both being outside and inside doing hands-on science activities, and are passionate about environmental education and conservation, this may be the perfect role for you!
