Organization Overview...
Alaska Geographic is the official nonprofit education and fundraising partner to Alaska’s National Parks, National Wildlife Refuges, National Forests, and BLM Conservation Lands, creating and delivering exceptional education programs and products through our collaboration with public lands agencies.
Alaska Geographic is a dynamic non-profit that offers a diverse array of outdoor programming, expeditions, stewardship projects, and education tours around Alaska to engage people in their public lands. We have been running programs since 2009 and have two education program bases – Anchorage and Denali National Park.
Anchorage Program Overview
Our Anchorage education programs primarily work with teens (14-18) in the Chugach National Forest and typically range from 5-13 days. All students are offered full-tuition scholarships, which includes outfitting. Teens are nominated by community members who believe the student will excel when given the opportunity to participate in an expedition. Our programs are intentionally designed for cultural and socioeconomic diversity. All programs have a stewardship component and are often accompanied by a Chugach National Forest backcountry ranger or staff to facilitate the conservation projects. Additionally, we run curriculum-focused multi-day Teacher Trainings for Alaska K-12 educators.
Position Overview
Our two Lead Sea Kayaking Instructors will run six multi-day programs in the Prince William Sound out of Whittier between June and August. Instructors will provide a safe, inclusive space for a diverse group of Alaskan youth and teachers while managing the inherent risks of sea kayaking in a remote wilderness area. Instructors will work alongside Chugach National Forest rangers and staff to deliver programs, requiring excellent collaboration and communication skills to maintain a positive relationship with our partners. In addition, a student leader (program alumni) may be a part of the leadership team for each youth trip.
As part of the six trips, each Lead Sea Kayaking Instructor will independently guide one multi-day Teacher Training course with the National Park Service in Kenai Fjords (Seward) or the US Forest Service in the Prince William Sound (Whittier). These courses require exceptional collaboration and communication skills with our USFS and NPS partners to ensure the trip meets educational goals.

• Assist Program Coordinators with pre and post trip gear logistics – including, but not limited to, menu planning, food purchasing, gear pulls, van loading, etc (prep and decommission days are paid at hourly rate)
• Drive 15 passenger van with kayak trailer on city streets, unpaved roads, and on the Seward highway
• Other Education related duties as assigned
Requirements:
• 21+ years old
• 2+ seasons of guiding or instructing experience, preferably in Alaska
• 2+ seasons of experience working with teens
• 1+ season of professional sea kayak experience
• ACA Sea Kayaking Level 2 certification (or higher) by May 2023 or equivalent experience (local courses often available in May)
• Must have current Wilderness First Responder (or higher) and CPR certification by May 2023
• Proven group management experience in an expedition setting
• Ability to work effectively with co-guide in a diverse, fast-paced, demanding environment with a high level of responsibility
• Willingness to be flexible and adaptable, understanding that programs may change on short notice due to weather, border closures, ferry delays, water taxi delays, agency partner abilities, or other unpredictable circumstances. These situations may happen while on course, extending the program days
• Must be able to lift 60 pounds regularly and throughout the day
• Must have valid driver's license and clean driving record
• Must be legally authorized to work in the U.S.
Preferred Experience:
• Strongly prefer Alaska-based candidates
• Strongly prefer candidates with experience on the Prince William Sound
• Experience working on small staff teams
Further Information:

• Location: based in Anchorage, Alaska
