Environmental Steward
Green Iowa AmeriCorps operates through the University of Northern Iowa’s Center for Energy and Environmental Education (UNI CEEE) in Cedar Falls looking to recruit members and place members into service leadership roles in our Cedar Falls, Cedar Rapids, Des Moines and Fairfield locations. This unique grassroots program actively facilitates energy conservation efforts for residents throughout Iowa. As a member of our program you'll have the opportunity to work within a team while leading your own projects and gaining tons of valuable work experience. The impact and empowerment experienced as part of our program will be like no other!
Our program hopes to train the next generation of ‘green-collar’ workers through a combination of field trips, presentations, and hands-on learning. Members have the opportunity to build leadership abilities through specific coordinator roles, which allow each member to contribute unique skills to the program. Members have access to free trainings, learn about green building techniques, manage volunteers, complete environmental education for all ages, and engage in extensive community engagement.
Service with Green Iowa AmeriCorps is an experience like no other, providing you an opportunity to make a difference in peoples’ lives on a daily basis all while gaining work experience that is going to put you leaps and bounds ahead of your peers in the energy and environmental sector. We intend to hire socially-minded individuals who want to make a difference in the community. Applicants should demonstrate an ability to work as a team or individually on projects that require learning/teaching new skills or participating in physical labor. Applicants should be self-starters, capable of working with minimal supervision and sensitivity to working with diverse sectors of the population.
