WE'RE HIRING! JOIN THE TEAM

The Outreach/Education Program Assistant for Environmental Justice will works closely with other staff and volunteers to proactively take our message to communities, groups, and schools throughout Delaware, with an emphasis reaching and engaging a more diverse audience than we have typically reached in the past. The Program Assistant’s efforts will spearhead a more comprehensive educational and outreach program to reach those citizens most affected by plastic pollution (extraction, refining, transportation, litter, landfilling, microplastics in our food chain, and more).  The position will also assist in communicating the information of PFD’s Community Composting Initiative (DCCI) program and supporting the development of community composting sites and reducing food waste.

This involves, but may not be limited to:

• Outreach to schools (*Title I), churches, community groups, libraries through providing presentations, curriculum materials, printed materials, film screenings, and more
• Represent PFD at community and event tabling events
• Represent PFD at public meetings as needed and appropriate
• Communicate and develop partnerships as beneficial to further the mission
• Assist with planning and advising student leaders for the 2025 YES! youth environmental summit, and recruiting attendance from un(der)represented schools
• Increase educational messaging on all social media platforms
• Identify and help recruit/grow more diverse representation on PFD’s Board of Directors and Working Group.

This is a part time, grant funded, contracted position.
