Community Engagement Instructor

Community Engagement Instructor Outreach Mentor

EcoServants® is seeking volunteer Community Engagement Instructors to mentor interns organizing and supporting environmental service activities, partnerships, and community-based initiatives. Our Community Engagement program connects environmental awareness with meaningful local action through volunteer participation, outreach, sustainability initiatives, and collaborative projects.

Volunteer Responsibilities

• Mentor interns in community outreach, volunteer coordination, partnership development, and event planning.
• Help interns prepare practical proposals for environmental service activities and community initiatives.
• Provide guidance on event logistics, community communication, stakeholder relationships, and volunteer engagement.
• Review project plans and written submissions for feasibility, clarity, and adherence to assignment requirements.
• Encourage safe, inclusive, accessible, and environmentally responsible community participation.
• Escalate organizational commitments, permissions, and safety-related decisions to management.

How EcoServants® Operates

EcoServants® is a fully volunteer-powered, 501(c)(3) environmental nonprofit. Our remote interns typically join a four-month program and complete practical, published assignments that contribute to real organizational, educational, and conservation-related projects. Work is organized through our EcoServants® Intern Portal and assignment-based Kanban board, where interns review requirements, claim appropriate assignments, submit deliverables, and receive feedback.

Your Instructor Portal & Team Support

Approved Instructors receive their own secure Instructor account and access to the EcoServants® Instructor Portal (ecoservantsproject.org/instructors-portal/). The portal supports instructor onboarding and program-focused workflows. Instructors can support one program or an approved combination of programs, participate in relevant EcoServants® Team Chats, answer questions, and review submissions against the written assignment requirements.

You are not expected to develop an entire curriculum or teach scheduled classes. Most mentorship is flexible and asynchronous: clarify an assignment, suggest improvements, provide respectful and actionable review feedback, and coordinate with nonprofit managers when a decision requires management approval.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience in community outreach, volunteer management, public administration, event planning, environmental education, or nonprofit programming. Strong interpersonal and organizational skills are valuable.

Commitment and Impact

This is a flexible, remote, unpaid volunteer opportunity. Instructors help interns develop practical community leadership skills while planning initiatives that connect people with environmental stewardship. Help inspire the next generation of community leaders to turn environmental concern into action.

Instructor onboarding and access are provided to approved volunteers. This is an unpaid, remote volunteer role with flexible participation.
