Trackers Earth

Guides (Educators) and Coordinators (Teacher & Manager)

Work options are available in the Bay Area (CA), Denver (CO), Portland (OR), and Seattle (WA). The Bay Area is the ideal place to blend outdoor skills with an urban environment; Denver offers access to stunning natural features to explore as well as adventure sports like climbing, kayaking, and hiking; Portland offers incredible natural areas and is one of the most fantastic cities to live and play outdoors; while Seattle puts you right on the Puget Sound, with waterways to explore and the Cascade Mountains looming in the distance!

Program in the Spotlight With immersive programs filled with epic stories and adventure, Trackers Earth is a youth organization dedicated to igniting children's passion for real-life adventures while learning to navigate obstacles. Trackers believes empowering kids to tackle genuine challenges, fostering resilience by developing grit and character is essential for them to thrive. Educators/Guides and Coordinators are needed for summer youth camps to create thoughtful, challenging adventures in the outdoors. Prospective staff members must have the know-how (or a great willingness to learn) diverse skill sets such as wilderness survival and bushcraft, farm craft and homesteading, archery and bow making, kayaking, fishing and foraging, martial arts, rock climbing, and blacksmithing. Trackers pays more for day and overnight camps than comparable industry organizations. Training for the majority of teachers begins in early June with the summer season running through late August. If you maintain high professional standards, are able to set and communicate boundaries for youth in a positive way, think on your feet, and are creative in challenging situations, explore current job opportunities in the Bay Area, Denver, Portland and Seattle.

Rogue Farm Corps

Farmer Training Program

Rogue Farm Corps trains the next generation of farmers and ranchers through hands-on farm apprenticeships throughout Oregon. The Apprenticeship Program is an immersive experience with hands-on training and workshops in sustainable agriculture for aspiring farmers with zero to some previous experience.

Are you interested in a deep dive into the world of sustainable agriculture? Apprentices train on-farm at a partner mentor Host Farm which provides mentorship and experience. Hands-on field training at each host farm is augmented by a series of in-person and virtual classes, farm tours, discussions, and networking organized by Rogue Farm Corps and partners. You will learn from a diverse community of mentor farmers, agricultural specialists, and food system professionals. This immersive experience will leave you with a deeper understanding of sustainable agriculture, a foundation of entrepreneurial skills, and practical experience to continue working on farms, eventually start your own operation, or pursue related food system work. Host Farms provide wages and some offer housing packages. Start and end dates vary based on the host farm, but are generally spring through fall. Learn more about participating farms and apply online. Rogue Farm Corps seeks to train an inclusive next generation of farmers and encourages applicants of all backgrounds and identities to apply. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis until all positions are filled. Apply early for the most opportunity.
