*Educator Position*
We seek a dynamic, science-savvy, education-driven performer to deliver ACE
multimedia presentations on climate change to high school students in Dade
County, FL / Kansas City, MO / Dallas, TX and surrounding areas.
(Check out our
trailer <http://www.acespace.org/get-inspired/trailer> to get a taste of
our presentation.) You’ll be in the field with high school students,
communicating the essential science of climate change in a lively, fun and
unforgettable way. After each presentation you’ll be working with youth to
create ACE Action Teams that work on a variety of climate change projects,
from recycling and composting programs to organizing green proms. We also
need a power-networker to build partnerships with schools, nonprofits,
media reporters and prospective funders.
Our Educators work from home when they’re not giving presentations, meet
about once a week with the local team, and convene occasionally with other
regional teams. We require a self-starter who is able and willing to work
independently. *This position will be in a single-staffed region, so our
new educator will be working alone in Dade County, FL / **Kansas City, MO /
Dallas, TX*
*The Organization: * The national leader in high school climate education,
ACE delivers award-winning multimedia assemblies on climate science and
solutions to high schools nationwide, with more than a million high school
students served in two years. After the assembly, we help students
kickstart Action Teams to take on carbon-cutting projects, anything from
starting a recycling club to solarizing their school.
We’re a young, dynamic nonprofit organization off to the races on making a
complex subject relevant, interesting and fun. We’re data-centric and
tech-savvy, nimble and creative, passionate and results-oriented. We have a
resident Fun Team and an impressive professional development process.
We want to help great people get greater—and make ACE terrific. More at
