  • Lead engaging, inquiry-based STEM and marine science programs for school field trips, after-school groups, summer camps, and the general public - from preschool through adult audiences
  • Deliver outreach programs directly in classrooms and partner sites across Westchester County, bringing the Long Island Sound into schools that can't always come to us
  • Collaborate with a professional tank care vendor to follow all New York State compliance rules need to maintain and care for the Center's aquariums, touch tank and living exhibits, including animals native to the Long Island Sound
  • Support the design, development and continuous improvement of curriculum covering topics such as marine ecology, animal adaptations, water cycles, climate change, wetland ecology, invertebrate biology and acoustics
  • Facilitate programs for community and civic groups, scout troops, summer camps and private events
  • Assist with daily operations of the Center including welcoming visitors, maintaining exhibits, supporting general programming logistics and maintain data collection for programming outputs and outcomes
  • Partner with other community groups and nonprofits on community outreach events, beach cleanups and special seasonal programming such as the Fish Hut Festival
  • Serve as an Enrichment Educator with the STEM team providing various educational programs as part of the broader organizational mission
  • Participate fully in all Programs Team trainings and meetings to ensure all work reflects our quality standards, achieves the highest levels of current, applied science and meets the needs of diverse learners
