Description
The StreamTeam started in 1992 and has grown to a regionally recognized volunteer environmental restoration effort of Clark Public Utilities. Since the program's inception, volunteers from a variety of backgrounds have planted over 600,000 native trees to bring salmon back to Salmon Creek. Annually over 800 volunteers plant trees, monitor local water quality, manage non-native plants and provide environmental outreach to protect local water quality and quantity. The StreamTeam interacts with approximately 20,000 people each year through outreach and educational opportunities in the community. This program is facilitated by one staff coordinator with limited assistance of a 6 person NWSA/AmeriCorps field team.
Position Overview:
The StreamTeam Program Assistant will assist the StreamTeam Coordinator in developing high quality, on-the-ground restoration and outreach activities in the Salmon Creek and East Fork of the Lewis Watersheds. These activities might include; program development, community event design and implementation, volunteer recruitment and coordination, outreach, and grant writing opportunities.
A large portion of the member's time (approximately 70%) will include large event planning, program outreach, environmental education and the development of volunteer leaders. Our goal is to provide the one-on-one attention necessary to cultivate volunteer leaders. Once volunteer leaders are trained and active, the position will be able to focus on other program needs such as grant writing. Less than half of the time will be spent in the field.
