About the role

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. GPC’s Land Labs Program provides students from Title I schools with hands-on conservation education. The program promotes academic engagement through outdoor learning and introduces students to a wide variety of STEM professions with family sustaining salaries. In this way, Land Labs supports AmeriCorps VISTA’s poverty alleviating mission. Land Labs lessons take place in outdoor classrooms where youth learn about ecological land management, restoration, conservation science, and career opportunities in these fields.
