Hello colleagues,
Below is a email from Tom Howe, Director of the Putney School
Summer Program in Putney VT. This would be a great job
opportunity for the right person, so please share with your
networks. As a Putney alum, and a past staff person of the
summer programs, I can't recommend it highly enough.
Best wishes,
Rachel
"Thank you for getting this on the UVM extension list serve! I'm
confident that the right person is out there. We're seeking
someone with teaching experience who enjoys working with teens
and who has experience working on a farm. My hope is that this
person will be excited to think broadly about the environment
yet down to earth enough to create a dynamic three-week
curriculum that makes good use of our working farm. Our goal is
to support the next generation as they figure out how we're
going to move forward locally and globally in ways that are
sustainable. This is our third year running the program and
we're likely to expand it in the coming years. Great opportunity
for the right person!"
