Seasonal Field Educators & Food Coordinator
Since 1926, Cottonwood Gulch Expeditions has been a trailblazer, leading expeditions across the stunning landscapes of New Mexico and the Southwest. Programs fall into three major categories: Summer treks are experiential learning opportunities for ages 8-18 that dive into pristine backpacking and hiking trails, hands-on science, cultural exploration, and place-based education in the American Southwest. School programs will take students on a journey of outdoor adventure, experiential learning, and environmental stewardship. Community programs include treks for adults, Youth Conservation Corps, and Wilderness Medicine certification programs.
Now seeking outdoor adventurers, scientists, artists, cooks and others who are excited to share their knowledge and inspire young people to connect with the outdoors! Seasonal Field Educators collaborate to create and facilitate a place-based educational curriculum tailored to specific destinations and interests of partners as groups travel around the Southwest and to the 540-acre basecamp, with periods of time camping in frontcountry and backcountry settings. Responsibilities include teaching trekkers outdoor skills such as campsite selection and setup, navigation, and fire building, assisting with meal creation and nutrition, managing the packing and organization of gear, and support nightly campfires, games, team building, and staff meetings. Preference will be given to staff able to work multiple seasons: spring (March 2nd-May 29th), summer (June 1st-August 9th), and/or fall (August 10th-October 30th), with the possibility of additional work in the winter and beyond. Compensation ranges from $1,850-$2,600/month (DOE), plus bunkhouse style housing in Albuquerque and open-air cabins in Thoreau (both with WiFi access), meals, $250 travel stipend if traveling more than 500 miles, and pro deal purchases. Applicants must be at least 21 years of age with a valid driver's license and WFA certification. Connect with Neal Turnquist for more info, view a detailed job description and apply here.
