The Santa Barbara Botanic Garden’s mission is to conserve California native plants and habitats for th health and well-being of people and the planet. The Garden is a living museum which fosters the conservation of California’s native plants through our gardens, research, and education, and serves as a role model of sustainable practices. Within the scope of this mission, the goals of the Education team are to facilitate transformative experiences with native plants, encourage wider use of native plants in our communities, and empower conservation leaders for the future.
Nature Educators work during the school year to lead youth-focused programs that ignite interest and curiosity about California’s native plants and habitats. They’ll provide general support to the Garden’s Education Department through school field trips, youth and family events, offsite afterschool programs and general public interactions. Nature Educators should be passionate about sharing nature with the public, creative and flexible in their teaching approach, and able to work either as a team or individually to provide effective and impactful programming. This is a part-time (6-13 hours a week), seasonal position, that reports to the Youth and Family Programs Manager.
