THIS IS A LONG-TERM SEASONAL POSITION

( February 1st, 2027, to November 12th, 2027 ) Through our partnership with the Tillotson Fund, AMC offers programming specific to the needs of the youths of Coös County; the largest and northernmost county in New Hampshire. Predominantly rural, Coös County stretches from the Canadian border down into the White Mountain National Forest. The demographics of this area vary greatly as you progress North up the Androscoggin and Connecticut River watersheds. While Coös is the largest New Hampshire county by land area, Coös has the smallest population of any county of the State. AMC's Coös Program works to increase the educational and recreational opportunities available to youths across this region. The Coös County Senior Educators are responsible, energetic individuals who are excited to share their knowledge and love of nature with Coös youths. They will primarily operate programs with public school students in Coös County, home-schooled students and other youth groups. Day programs are based in local schools and communities in Coös County, NH, with overnights taking place at AMC facilities across all 4 seasons. During the academic school year, the Coös County Senior Educator will predominantly plan and lead educational programs for the students of Coös County (grades k-12). These programs include school-based (60%) curriculum-centered science education programs and hiking focused field trip programs, based at AMC Huts and Lodges (40%). Field trip programs can range from 1-5 days and include overnights. Academic lessons on climate change, forest and watershed ecology, map and compass, sense of place, weather and climate, outdoor skills, community-building and team building are integrated and taught in a nature-centered hiking or schoolyard-based programs. The Coös Senior Educator is responsible for curriculum planning for these programs. During the summer months, outside of the school year, Coös County Senior Educators primarily work with a co-leader to facilitate 3 to 6 day overnight backcountry trips for Coös County teens aged 12 to 17. These multi-day trips take place on public lands either in the backcountry or while base camping. Educators are responsible for supervising and supporting the group on these immersive multiday programs. A training in basic backpacking skills will be provided, but prior backpacking / backcountry camping experience is preferred. Schedules are typically Monday through Friday, but flexibility is necessary for weekend programs. Educators can expect 4 days off per 2-week period.
