MobilizeGreen is looking for a passionate and dedicated individual to lead our Youth Conservation Crew at the Patuxent Research Refuge in Laurel, Maryland.
This paid program is in partnership with the US Forest Service and the Patuxent Research Refuge. The Patuxent Research Refuge was established in 1936 by executive order of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and is the only wildlife refuge established to support wildlife research. Biologically, the refuge is of regional importance in that it is home to many deep-forest song birds such as the Scarlet Tanager. Patuxent's large areas of unbroken tree cover, rare in central Maryland, allows these birds to hide from predators.
As a Crew Leader, you will have the opportunity to work in this incredible environment and help to inspire the next generation of environmental leaders. The ideal candidate will have experience working with youth in outdoor settings and a passion for environmental education. We are looking for someone who is enthusiastic, organized, and a strong communicator.
The ideal candidate for this position should be 21 or older with a valid driver’s license, must pass a criminal background check and have a current First Aid/CPR Certification or ability to get prior to the start of the program. Additionally, experience in teaching/leadership, outdoor education/skills, and conservation project skills are preferred. Applicants must be US Citizens or legally able to work in the US.
This is a seasonal position lasting 9-10 weeks, including 3-5 days of leader training; 8 weeks of leading crew from Monday to Friday, and up to 5 days of pre/post program administrative work. The program runs from June 26 to August 18, with July 4th off, and the training dates are to be determined, but expected to be in mid-June.
