In 2011 Education Outside, in partnership with San Francisco Unified School District launched the Corps for Education Outside—the first service corps program in the United States dedicated to transforming urban public schools into centers of 21st century experiential learning, environmental sustainability, and innovation. The Corps program is designed to harness the enthusiasm and passion of college graduates who serve as the point people for outdoor experiential education and school greening activities at their school sites. Corps members play a central role in sparking students’ interest in science, building a more eco- and food-literate student population, increasing the energy efficiency of their schools’ infrastructure, decreasing schools’ waste streams, building strong school communities, and promoting outdoor education opportunities. Corps members receive a 10-month salary of $25,000, plus medical, dental, and vision insurance for each year of service, as well as paid professional development throughout their experience.
The deadline for applications is Monday, April 1st, 2013 at 5:00pm PST
