Glacier Peak Institute Curriculum Coordinator Job at AmeriCorps
Join our grassroots outdoor education organization in shaping the lives of rural youth & communities. We are a small mighty team of dedicated staff & AWESOME volunteers who are building a stronger community. Enjoy a beautiful small-town with easy access to outdoor recreation. Want to hike on your lunch break? GPI’s STrEaMs (Science, technology, recreation, engineering, art, mathematics, & skill building) programs utilize the transformative potential of the outdoors to empower youth through action-based learning to build resilient communities & ecosystems. Join us! GPI is a direct response to tragedy: the tragic 2014 Oso Landslide combined with decades of increasing poverty, a household income at almost half the state average, & disenfranchised youth. Additionally, education cuts eliminated 1/3 of the teachers & youth lacked exposure to outdoors despite being surrounded by mountains & rivers. The community’s greatest assets were identified: youth, forests, & recreation. That summer, members of the community supported by partners from business, government, social services & education, designed & launched an outdoor youth STEM pilot program to invest & strengthen these assets through empowering students to develop infrastructure & scientific knowledge endemically through hands-on, practical-based projects contributing to the ecological & economic regeneration of their community. This became Glacier Peak Institute. The Curriculum Coordinator and Development VISTA will focus on the growth mindset model for youth to become creative problem solvers and explorers. The position is vital to increasing the capacity of GPI to better serve our community as well as to replicate this curriculum in other struggling rural communities. After participating in our programs, youth leave school excited to share their outdoor lessons, and feel empowered to explore the forests and rivers around us. Tomorrow, they will be shaping the futures of their communities.
