Outreach Research Volunteer
Facing the Future is looking for a reliable and detail-oriented volunteer to update our contact information for social studies, literacy, global, math, science and environmental education leaders, educators, and their organizations. Due to the small size of our office, the volunteer will have a chance to learn about various aspects of the organization.
Facing the Future is a fast-growing national nonprofit organization based in Seattle. Founded in 1995, Facing the Future brings global issues and sustainability education to K-12 classrooms, reaching over 500,000 students last year alone. We research and write global issues and sustainability curriculum materials that meet national education standards; provide professional development workshops for teachers; and help schools integrate global issues across their curricula. Facing the Future curriculum resources are in use in 50 states and more than 100 countries by K-12 teachers and students across multiple subject areas, including science, social studies, and environmental education.
Facing the Future strives to maintain a fair and fun work environment. Our office is located in downtown Seattle, within walking distance to Pike Place Market, Safeco Field, and the Puget Sound. Facing the Future is an equal opportunity employer.
