On-site housing provided with monthly utilities paid by the Institute. Duration of Employment: May 26, 2026 - July 17, 2026; opportunity for additional paid week. Paid professional development including First Aid/CPR, Red Cross Lifeguard Certification Our Values and Culture We create experiential education programs focused on the natural world, knowing such learning and research opportunities are uniquely suited to bring about life changing outcomes in individual passion for learning, sense of worth, and behavior. We believe a lost connection with the natural world can be repaired beginning with experiences that take place in the original classroom-the outdoors. We believe such experiences produce cascading results that enrich individual lives, strengthen communities, and empower citizens. We celebrate the distinctive setting the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP) provides as a living laboratory to explore the biodiversity that forms the building blocks of healthy ecosystems, examine past and present human impacts on the land, and navigate questions about how to best support the land that supports us. We carry out our mission with both urgency and joy, recognizing that the work of connecting people and nature could not be timelier.
