Who is EarthGen?
EarthGen, founded in 2011, is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that guides and supports youth, educators, and school communities to become leaders for a healthy environment. Our programs are focused on youth, helping them find their voice as leaders and changemakers. We know that investing in and partnering with young people is a powerful way to address climate change—youth action is climate action. We aim to support their efforts to improve their environment today and for the future. At EarthGen, we partner with educators and K-12 school communities to provide learning opportunities for their students that are anchored in science and offer engaging, place-based, and authentic learning experiences right on their school campus. We have a statewide presence and are strategically focused on increasing that presence across Washington.
We are committed to the journey of racial equity. In service to that commitment, we have a racial equity policy to support our efforts to seek out areas where our commitment is evident throughout the organization and where it needs to grow.
As we evolve and expand, we are undergoing a rebuild of staff and board, including an Executive Director, to help set the path forward for the next phase of EarthGen’s development as an organization. Programmatically, we are eager to continue developing environmental and sustainability education programs that elevate the knowledge and experiences of all students and can support youth and communities in learning and growing together as we work toward identifying best practices in youth-centered education and engagement.
Our small but mighty team of talented professionals is excited and ready for this next stage of evolution. We are dedicated to creating and maintaining a culture of quality work, mutual respect, collaboration, strategic and thoughtful growth, and a commitment to being excellent partners both internally and externally.
As EarthGen reimagines its team, we are looking for new members who are ready to join us on this growth journey. Together, we aim to build a culture of kindness, care, and excellence for one another and the students, teachers, and communities we serve. We seek individuals who represent diverse lived experiences and cultural backgrounds.
We want EarthGen to be a great place to work and have recently assessed how we show up for our team. As a result, we now offer winter and summer holiday week-long breaks, an intentional focus on self-care, competitive wages, and a hybrid work environment.
To successfully navigate our current change process, we need team members who are committed to our mission, values, and continuous improvement—recognizing that perfection is not the goal, but rather excellence in our service and learning. We believe that changemakers can be anyone, especially students, and we seek individuals who are ready to show up alongside us as reliable, dependable collaborators with our partners and elevate the EarthGen brand in positive ways. If this resonates with you, please review the job posting below and apply. We want to talk with you.
Job Summary
The Program Manager works collaboratively with program staff to create, manage, support, and evaluate educational programming for teachers, students, and schools in order to advance EarthGen’s mission.
