As a YMCA environmental education counselor, I inspire children ages K-12 to discover the wonders of the natural world, transforming the outdoors into a living classroom. My days are a dynamic blend of teaching, mentoring, and so many outdoor adventures, where you guide groups through hands on activities that foster a deeper connection to the outside environment.
Whether leading a hike through a forest to learn about ecology, challenging a team on a low ropes, archery, water games etc, to building communication skills, or teaching campfire safety and folklore under the stars, you are a catalyst for learning and personal growth.
I serve as a positive role model, infusing every activity with the YMCA's core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility, and helping kiddos build confidence, leadership skills, and an appreciation for conservation.
It is a role that combines the excitement of exploration with the fulfillment of empowering the next generation of environmental stewards, all while ensuring a safe and memorable experience for everyone involved.
