Hi all,
      I hope that your first weeks at schools went well.  I have just  
found out that applications for new coordinators for next year need to  
be in by next week (specifically during the day this coming Monday!)   
Sorry about the short notice, but don't worry, the applications are  
pretty short and easy so they are totally do-able for this weekend.   
If you are interested in being a co-coordinator for next year, and  
training with Sarah and me this semester, then please please please  
fill out an application.  Also, please email Sarah and myself to let  
us know that you have filled out an application.  Just as a reminder,  
here is a very basic explanation of the position.  Please don't  
hesitate to email or call with any specific questions or concerns  
about the position.  It's really a fun job and I'm sure that whoever  
takes on this role will enjoy getting to know their co-coordinator and  
working together with them on the SEEDS program!

after school programs, educating children on the importance of

Students are paired with one to two other volunteers where they work

environmental topics.  We are strong believers of community and  
place-based education and strive to foster an appreciation among the
future leaders of the world!

Ability to work together with one other coordinator a plus.

you to volunteer at schools through SEEDS if you are not already doing  
so.  As a coordinator, you will be responsible for contacting schools,  
pairing students at schools, designing lesson plans for use and  
distribution, holding biweekly meetings, etc.  You will act as a  
resource for your volunteers.
