Administrative Assistant

Living Classrooms Foundation (LCF) is a nonprofit organization that strengthens communities and inspires people to achieve their potential through hands-on education and job training, using urban, natural, and maritime resources as “living classrooms.” Since 1985, Living Classrooms Foundation (LCF) has offered a distinctive competency in experiential learning--literally learning by direct experience, or what we call "learning by doing." We apply our skill in three areas: K-8 Education; Hands-on Enrichment Education for youth and adults that reinforces academic skills, healthy lifestyles, and direct stewardship; and customized Job Training that prepares adults for employment, while fostering community stewardship. We place a special emphasis on serving youth and families in poverty, adjudicated youth, and adults returning to the community from incarceration. We serve 25,000 people a year at diverse program sites in and around Baltimore and Washington, DC.
