Urban Nature Partners PDX is a growing nonprofit entering its 7th year that matches youth in 4th through 8th grades from historically marginalized Portland neighborhoods with mentors to spend regular time outdoors in urban greenspaces. Since spring 2014, we have served 46 youth and their families from three diverse, low-income areas of Portland, and have developed numerous partnerships with other Portland environmental and educational organizations to leverage meaningful and culturally appropriate opportunities for our youth and families. We are the only Portland based nonprofit providing long-term, relationship based, non- curricular, youth focused outdoor opportunities for young people in this age group.
This position will serve as a second part-time Program Assistant to the Director, working collaboratively with a small team of staff, a working board and advisors, and volunteer youth mentors to plan and execute programming and provide support and empowerment to youth and families, especially those from Latinx communities.
Education and experience in late elementary/middle school education and/or social services with a focus on diverse youth are especially sought in a candidate. Students and parents returning to the workplace are encouraged to apply; additional hours may be available in this position beginning fall 2020.
Responsibilities may include:
