TNC- Ohio Staff Volunteer Crew Leader

Save to Favorites

Staff Volunteer Crew Leaders provide support to TNC Ohio by leading community volunteers on projects focused on protecting and maintaining preserves. Staff Volunteer Crew Leaders may choose to focus on maintenance activities such as picking up trash, leading hikes, conducting surveys, attending outreach events, and/or helping with the ecological management of the preserve by removing invasive species. This position requires the ability to identify common native and invasive species, lead and supervise volunteers of all ages on the project in a safe and effective manner and work alongside TNC staff, other volunteers, or alone (once trained) on projects identified by staff. It may require lifting of some heavy objects, safe/proper use of herbicide, and hiking over unimproved ground. Staff Volunteer Crew Leaders need to have the ability to communicate via email, text message, and via phone calls.

Staff Volunteer Crew Leaders must complete the Staff Volunteer Selection & Youth Qualification Process which includes but is not limited to: completing a staff volunteer application and interview with the program manager, having references checked, completing online and in person trainings, and successfully completing a background screening related to the Youth Safety Policies and Procedures.
