Forest Educator with Ricardo Sierra | A Podcast for Revolutionary Conversations about Nature-Based Education

Shownotes Transcript

If you are a Nature Program Director looking for helpers or a Nature Educator looking for work, this episode can help you find the right situation or people for a positive, mutually beneficial experience!

Nature programs, wilderness camps, youth therapy expeditions and forest schools are always looking for great candidates, and there are lots of awesome educators and counselors and leaders looking for their next adventure.  So, how do we find the right situation on both sides of this organizational/individual relationship?

We explore strategies for hiring nature-based staff, avoiding the 'Unicorn Trap' and communication tips so Directors and Leaders can find the right staff for their needs.  We will also flip to the other side of the equation and talk about ways that Educators, Wilderness Instructors and Nature Counselors can get crystal clear on what kinds of environments will match expectations, avoid energy sucking conflicts and 'read between the lines' to get the whole picture of a prospective program before you commit for the full season.
