Center for Land-Based Learning

This full time position offers an opportunity to be a leader in the Central
Valley and help valley teens learn about their valley-- its assets and its
challenges. The Coordinator heads up two hands-on learning programs and
partners with various agencies, and restoration companies and landowners in
bringing yearlong placed-based environmental restoration projects to valley
high school classes. Local farms and ranches become outdoor classrooms
where students learn first hand about the challenges and joys of
agriculture as all strive towards sustainability.
