Communications and Outreach Fellow VISTA

Communications and Outreach Fellow VISTA Great Peninsula Conservancy (GPC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit land trust dedicated to protecting the natural habitats, rural landscapes, and open spaces of the Great Peninsula region of west Puget Sound, Washington.

GPC's important work is accomplished through conservation, stewardship, and community engagement.

The Great Peninsula Conservancy (GPC) Land Labs program utilizes local protected lands to enhance the quality of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) education in local schools.

Hands-on science projects support the vision of the Washington State Environmental and Sustainability Literacy Plan and meet the requirements of Washington State Science and Learning Standards (WSSLS). The program engages students directly in big picture environmental concerns affecting their local communities and opens students' eyes to professional opportunities in the environmental science field.

The Land Labs program will help prepare students from low-income families and underachieving schools for success in post-secondary education and careers in STEM.
