The Maine Conservation Corps
Environmental Educator Program
The Environmental Educator program provides opportunities for members to gain experience in environmental education, volunteer leadership, water quality monitoring and watershed stewardship, and developing community service projects. Environmental Educators are placed with agencies for 6 and 10 month positions. The focus of their projects ranges from recruiting and training volunteers to address water resource issues to educating children and adults about environmental issues and specific needs within their communities.
Some Environmental Educators recruit volunteers for watershed surveys, water quality testing and monitoring projects, and environmental outreach projects with schools and in local communities. Others conduct organizational meetings with local watershed groups and plan and implement service learning projects such as vegetative buffer planting projects. Environmental Educators work with teachers and develop environmental education curriculum materials that comply with Maine's Learning Results.
