**TEAM AND SUPERVISION**
- You will be a member of the Environmental Education team and be managed by the Menomonee Valley Neighborhood Environmental Education Manager. You will be responsible for the safety and well-being of students, interns, and volunteers and also coach/mentor our interns, students, and volunteers.
- Though all of our teams work together in some capacity, you will most frequently collaborate with the Educators and Branch leadership team.
- In this role, you may participate in UEC circles and committees as your work requires or as your schedule and interests allow.
- All UEC team members should expect interaction with volunteers, members, and youth participants.

**ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT**
- All team members of the Urban Ecology Center work a minimum of 1-2 weekend or evening events each year. Our events are a great way to engage with our communities and see our mission in action; examples include Urban Candlelight Hike, Autumn Celebration, and HKE MKE.

**OUR EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE**
- We nurture an inclusive, supportive, and collaborative workplace culture. Many of our staff serve on cross-departmental committees for internal and external events, employee engagement, our equity, dignity, and justice (EDJ) focus, and safety initiatives, to name a few.
- All UEC staff work on-site a minimum of twice per week at one of our 3 branches, though many choose to work in person more frequently. Several of our roles do not have remote capabilities by the nature of their responsibilities.
- Urban Ecology Center staff can attend all programs and events at a low or no cost. Children of staff members attend programming, including summer camps, at reduced rates.
- Full-time staff at the Urban Ecology Center are offered competitive medical, dental, and vision insurance rates, a 3% 403(b) matching contribution, 24 days of PTO in year 1 (29 in year 2), 7 additional paid holidays, discounted UEC merchandise, and other great benefits.
