We serve high schoolers seeking an alternative academic setting, and many of our students bring real behavioral challenges. Our program is built around small student crews, multi-day camping expeditions, hands-on conservation fieldwork, and natural resource management coursework.This role is rewarding and genuinely varied. You'll work as a crew lead, classroom presence, behavioral support, and field supervisor depending on the week. The work shifts across the school year, and that's by design.Because we're a small school with a small team, flexibility matters. Priorities shift, unexpected needs arise, and our faculty step into whatever the school needs on a given day. The quarterly breakdown below describes a typical year, but real circumstances will ask you to flex beyond it sometimes. That's the nature of a small, mission-driven school.We share all of this upfront because we want you to succeed. Candidates who understand the full scope and flexibility this role requires before they start are far more likely to thrive in it.Position Summary: The Outdoor Educator and Youth Development Specialist Field Coordinator serves as a frontline crew leader, classroom support, and field operations coordinator for TRCS. You will spend the majority of your time in direct contact with students: leading small groups in classroom settings, providing environmental education in the field, facilitating conservation-based service-learning projects, and managing student behavior across all settings.TRCS operates on a four-quarter schedule. Your responsibilities shift between quarters, and you are expected to adapt accordingly. As a member of a small team, you should also expect to take on additional or adjusted responsibilities as school needs to evolve throughout the year.The Outdoor Educator and Youth Development Specialist Field Coordinator is both highly demanding and highly rewarding, serving high school students identified as at risk of academic failure and/or presenting behavioral challenges. The Outdoor Educator and Youth Development Specialist Field Coordinators spend most of their time in direct contact with students, either providing direct student instruction in small groups in a classroom setting, providing environmental education in the field, or facilitating conservation-based, service-learning projects. What a Typical Year Looks Like: Quarter-by-QuarterThe following describes a standard quarter structure. Actual week-to-week responsibilities may vary based on staffing, weather, student needs, and other factors.Quarters 1 and 4: Camping QuartersDuring each camping quarter, you will serve as a crew lead on two separate 4-day SPIKE (Special Projects in Knowledge and Exploration) camping trips. On SPIKE, you are paired with a core content teacher and are jointly responsible for leading one student crew (12-18 students). Your responsibilities during SPIKE include student safety and welfare, crew logistics, facilitating hands-on conservation and environmental education, and maintaining behavioral expectations in a field setting with no separation from your students for the duration of the trip.During the remaining 6–8 weeks of each camping quarter, you will:<ul><li style="line-height:normal">Work in the classroom providing direct academic and behavioral support to students alongside the core teaching faculty</li><li style="line-height:normal">Teach elective classes for two periods per day</li><li style="line-height:normal">Serve as a substitute teacher when teaching staff are absent. When subbing, you are responsible for following the sub plans provided by the absent teacher and managing the classroom independently</li></ul>Quarters 2 and 3: Field QuartersDuring field quarters, you will typically lead students in field-based service days two days per week. Field service work covers a range of hands-on conservation and natural resource management activities, which may include invasive species removal, habitat restoration, reforestation, trail construction and maintenance, and riparian planting.The remaining school days each week, you will be in the classroom providing academic and behavioral support and teaching elective classes.You may be asked to cover additional field days when a fellow AmeriCorps member is absent or when program needs require it. This means that some weeks you may be in the field for three or more days. Flexibility and willingness to adjust your schedule on short notice are essential.Throughout the YearBecause TRCS operates with a small, close-knit team, there will be times throughout the year when you are asked to step into responsibilities beyond what is described above. This may include covering absent colleagues, supporting school events, taking on logistical tasks, or contributing in other ways that keep the school running effectively. The specific needs are difficult to predict.Core ResponsibilitiesStudent Behavior and Professional Boundaries (25%)You are a professional in a high school educational environment.
