Lincoln, United States Mass Audubon Full time
Job DescriptionJob DescriptionAbout Mass Audubon
Mass Audubon is the largest nature-based conservation organization in New England. Founded in 1896 by two women who fought for the protection of birds, Mass Audubon carries on their legacy by focusing on the greatest challenges facing the environment today: the loss of biodiversity, inequitable access to nature, and climate change. With the help of our 160,000 members and supporters, we protect wildlife, conserve and restore resilient land, advocate for impactful environmental policies, offer nationally recognized education programs for adults and children, and provide endless opportunities to experience the outdoors at our wildlife sanctuaries. Explore, find inspiration, and take action at massaudubon.org.

About This Position
We are looking for experienced educators who are enthusiastic about working with youth in out-of-school programs, are highly motivated, dedicated to environmental education, and deeply committed to equity in access to nature. Out-of-School Field Teachers serve as members of Mass Audubon’s Metro West team and work with Education Coordinators to develop and implement hands-on, youth-driven, nature-based programming for afterschool programs and community groups, ensuring educational and outreach outcomes and promoting Mass Audubon’s mission of protecting the nature of Massachusetts for wildlife and people. The ideal candidate will also support Mass Audubon’s commitment to climate change education, equity, and justice and bring a diverse range of experiences, expressions, and views to their work. Our Metro West Region includes Broadmoor Wildlife Sanctuary in Natick, Drumlin Farm Wildlife Sanctuary in Lincoln, and Habitat Wildlife Sanctuary in Belmont. Our region’s afterschool programming currently reaches the cities and towns of Belmont, Billerica, Cambridge, Framingham, Lowell, Medford, and Natick.
