23-24 YMCA Earth Service Corps
 
 
 
This is an AmeriCorps national service position. It is contingent on funding and open until filled. YMCA Earth Service Corps (YESC) is leadership through environmental service. YESC empowers young people to become effective, responsible, global citizens by providing opportunities for service learning, environmental education, and cross-cultural awareness. Program Instructors play a crucial role in delivering high-quality positive youth development programming to teens in the Greater Seattle area. This multi-faceted program combines school-based environmental clubs, service-learning projects, and regional outdoor and environmental education events into a comprehensive model that minimizes barriers to participation and allows for engagement of diverse populations. Each Program Instructor will mentor and develop youth leaders by implementing school-based clubs that provide opportunities for environmental education, leadership development, service-learning, and cross-cultural awareness which instill confidence, build character, and support youth in reaching their fullest potential. Program Instructors will foster strong relationships, empower youth to be effective leaders, and engage them in outdoor experiences and hands-on volunteerism that increases environmental knowledge, instills stewardship, and addresses environmental issues.
