In Jobs in Farm-Based Education
Do you love being outside exploring nature with children? Are you comfortable tending a garden filled with nurturing veggies and wriggly worms? Do you like to sing and be silly while engaging children in child-centered, thoughtful programs? Then come work with us! We are looking for a caring, empathetic, experienced Environmental Educator who wants to work with children and youth in northern New Hampshire and help grow our education programs on our new campus on the Windhover property in Jefferson. About the Position:

community-oriented, and enthusiastic team member who enjoys working with children, youth, and
adults in a variety of programs in diverse settings, such as local schools, the community garden, local
trails, and on our new campus on the Windhover property in Jefferson. The Environmental
Educator will work closely with our Environmental Education Coordinator to develop and
implement programs that are immersive and connect learners of all ages to nature through, for
example, making pine needle tea and building forts during the Farm & Forest Friday program, or
starting seeds to plant in the garden with our Winter Explorers Homeschool program. We strive to
develop creative programming that is engaging and learner led, and look to our education staff to be
nurturing and empathetic as they create phenomenological and aesthetic learning experiences such
as storytelling or developing a sensory guidebook of herbs. Our current programming includes a
nature-based summer camp, a Homeschool series, and Farm & Forest Fridays at a local elementary
school; future programming in the next year will add an after school program and vacation camps.
