Our youth will inherit this legacy and need to be prepared, and their teachers need and deserve support to understand and teach these complex topics effectively. ABOUT THE POSITION EarthGen is seeking a collaborative and strategic leader to be its next Executive Director, leading our efforts to grow our impact in the years ahead. A Washington State based nonprofit, EarthGen brings locally relevant science-based learning opportunities to students and school communities who are farthest from educational and environmental justice.

Building on a successful decade of growth and measurable impact, EarthGen has a big vision for the future: we will grow EarthGen’s impact in both breadth and depth, so that more teachers and students across Washington will have access to high quality climate-science education and meaningful opportunities to make environmental change. EarthGen is seeking a leader who is inspired by this ambitious vision and shares our commitment to K-12 education and environmental justice. We are eager to meet with candidates who have strengths in these areas: Building strong partnerships across many diverse communities, fields, and sectors Strategic thinking and results-based problem solving Deep commitment to leading with an equity and environmental justice lens Willingness to be a “fearless fundraiser” in support of EarthGen’s mission Experience as a collaborative and inclusive team leader, and readiness to lead a thriving nonprofit COMPENSATION $125,000 - $150,000 per year #J-18808-Ljbffr
