Our Educator Development Program will return! While our Educator Development Program (EDP) is temporarily suspended due to COVID shutdowns and program dormancy, we expect to host another cohort in 2023. In the meantime, it is vital for us to continue to support educators from historically marginalized populations and reduce the barriers to becoming an environmental educator. If you are looking for a training program, or an entry-level position in EE, we recommend the below organizations and/or positions.
NatureBridge: Coastal Camp Counselor (Seeking applicants for summer 2023. Please check back in January 2023.)
Justice Outside: Outdoor Educators Institute and Rising Leaders Fellowship (Applications for joining the Outdoor Educators Institute and the Rising Leaders Fellowship 2022 cohort are now closed)
Outward Bound Adventures: Diverse Outdoor Leaders Institute (Seeking applicants in the Greater LA area yearly in the Spring)
For educators who are currently in the field, but are looking for additional training that is accessible for folks with full-time jobs, check out:
Association for Environmental and Outdoor Education (AEOE)’s Environmental Educator Certification Program (EECP)
