Virginia Rivers & Streams Environmental Education Program Assistant Manager/Educator
Charlottesville, VA jobs
The Chesapeake Bay Foundation seeks a Virginia Rivers & Streams Environmental Education Program Assistant Manager/Educator in the Education Department to be field based throughout western and central VA.
THE CHESAPEAKE BAY FOUNDATION
Established in 1966, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) is the largest regional nonprofit conservation organization dedicated to saving the Chesapeake Bay, its rivers and streams, and the wildlife that call it home through education, advocacy, litigation, and restoration. Since 2010, CBF has engaged in a focused effort to defend and implement the Chesapeake Clean Water Blueprint, a binding federal and state collaborative agreement aimed at reducing pollution to the science-based, legally-affirmed levels established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The Blueprint is expected to be fully implemented by 2025. If the states and the federal government achieve Blueprint goals, the Bay will finally after decades of failed efforts be removed from the Clean Water Act s impaired waters list. Successfully implementing the Blueprint depends on a well-informed, engaged, active, and diverse constituency of members, advocates, and volunteers who speak up and take action to save the Bay.
CBF has a staff of approximately 230 employees working in offices in Annapolis, Maryland; Richmond and Virginia Beach, Virginia; Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; and Washington, D.C. as well as 14 field education program locations. Our staff and volunteer corps work throughout the region educating students and adults, advocating for clean water policies, restoring waterways, and litigating when necessary.
CBF's headquarters office in Annapolis, Maryland is the Philip Merrill Environmental Center, the world s first U.S. Green Build Council s LEED platinum building. In 2014, CBF opened the Brock Environmental Center one of the world s most energy efficient, environmentally smart buildings in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
CBF has an annual budget of approximately $30 million and is supported by over 200,000 members and e-subscribers. For more information on CBF, please visit cbf.org.
DEPARTMENT DESCRIPTION
Environmental Education
CBF's Environmental Education provides field experiences, teacher professional learning, and student leadership for over 25,000 participants each year. The Bay, and its watershed, is our classroom and CBF environmental educators are responsible for bringing the Bay alive to students. We strive to make a lasting impression about the excitement and vulnerability of the Bay. Each of CBF's 14 education programs has its own individual character. The field experience options run the gamut from our urban boat programs in Baltimore and Hampton Roads to Pennsylvania canoe programs to remote island-based centers. We use hands-on experiential teaching techniques to educate students about the health of the Bay and connect them back to their local environment. Educators promote and develop knowledge about the Bay by providing unforgettable field investigations that inspire participants with a commitment to take action for the restoration of the Bay.
The education department is comprised of Student Field Programs, Teacher and Principal Professional Learning, and Student Leadership. All of these components work closely to educate and empower participants to take action towards "Saving the Bay."
CONTEXT OF THE POSITION
The Virginia Rivers & Streams Environmental Education Program provides one-day canoe-based field investigations for students and teachers. These field investigations are designed to provide participants with the opportunity to investigate and explore Virginia s local waterways and learn about its connection to the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Participants learn about water quality and the effects that pollution, agriculture, and land use have on the Bay s tributaries. The canoeing classroom affords students the opportunity to conduct biological and chemical tests and discover how they can take action to help preserve and restore the watershed. This mobile canoe program explores the rivers, creeks and lakes of western and central VA, using different canoe sites to reach students in their local watersheds. The program staff travel extensively throughout western and central VA to canoe some of the most scenic tributaries in the watershed. This position requires the ability to work with a changing work schedule/time due to varied work sites and travel.
