Native Plant Salvage Foundation (NPSF) is recruiting an enthusiastic and diligent AmeriCorps Member to support our hands-on environmental educational activities for people of all ages. This position will serve NPSF through Washington Service Corps for a 10.5-month commitment beginning in September 2024.
We seek someone who is an enthusiastic learner, ready for new challenges that will develop a range of skills, and enjoys working in a team but who is independently driven and comfortable managing specific projects with minimal supervision but regular communication.
Our activities take place in a fast-paced environment, with multiple projects often occurring simultaneously and in different locations in the South Salish region (mostly in Thurston County) and occasionally in other locations in Washington state.
NPSF supports WSU Thurston County Extension’s Native Plant Salvage Project/Water Resources Program in protecting water resources and fish and wildlife habitat. NPSF builds community capacity through extensive volunteer-based activities, as well as field-based and classroom/web trainings. Audiences include urban, suburban and rural residents, with some emphasis in this service term on rural/agricultural landowners; highly motivated volunteers seeking to make a difference in their community; and local K-12 and college teachers and students.
NPSF puts special emphasis on recruiting, retaining, and nurturing dependable volunteers of all ages. Hundreds of volunteers annually participate in NPSF’s mission to provide hands-on education to protect and conserve water resources and habitat from the South Sound prairies to the shores of the Salish Sea.
Our organization has successfully mentored 19 previous AmeriCorps members who have gone on to successful careers in ecology, environmental education, sustainable horticulture, agriculture, planning, field biology, parks, and planning, working with government agencies, social-justice work, mental-health counseling, local and international NGOs, land trusts, and private businesses. Several past AmeriCorps members have chosen to serve more than one term in this mutually beneficial partnership.
