We partner with rural and urban communities and a variety of government agencies. South Sound GREEN focuses on connecting communities and schools for watershed protection. Through this program we aim to inspire a sense of place among youth and adults in their watershed. The member will support our work by assisting with service-learning projects and community action. This position spends a lot of time outdoors in dynamic fresh and saltwater environments. We expect to begin rolling review of applications in late-April and interview top candidates in May.
