Serve with AmeriCorps at the Yew Mountain Center


This AmeriCorps member would help develop and assist existing place-based education and stewardship
programs at the Yew Mountain Center. This service position will support projects that foster biodiversity,
promote sustainable land-based economic opportunities, conserve resources, and offer experiential education
to participants of all ages.

This volunteer should enjoy working outdoors. Knowledge of Appalachian ecology would be helpful but not a
requirement. Good communication skills are preferred. Ability to navigate social media for marketing and
publicity purposes is a plus. Teaching experience, facilitating groups, and interest and ability to work with youth
would also be helpful qualities. This volunteer should be able to work with a team, take initiative, and follow
through with minimal supervision.  The member duties can be flexible to accommodate the special skills and experience of the candidate. 

We are looking to fill a 3 or 6-month position starting in June and/or a 1-year position starting in September. 
The stipend for the full year, full time position is $20,000.  We would also consider a full-year, half-time member (~20 hrs /week.) 

Please email Erica at elmarks.wv@gmail.com for more information about these specific roles and the Yew Mountain Center. 
Visit the Appalachian Forest National Heritage Area website for more about the AmeriCorps program. Our three - and six-month opportunities are not listed on their site yet.  You can also contact Chrissy Hall at AFNHA for more information about member requirements, educational awards, and stipends. chrissyh (at) appalachianforest.us
