San Rafael, Costa Rica Ecology Project International A tiempo completo

**Description**:
Ecology Project International (EPI), a nonprofit organization, is hiring instructors to teach field-based science/conservation/environmental educational programs for high school and junior university students in Costa Rica.

EPI offers experiential educational programs to students in a variety of outdoor settings. Our mission is to inspire youth with nature and empower them with science, fostering tomorrow’s leaders. Our Costa Rica program teaches students different concepts including rainforest ecology, sea turtles biology, sustainable development, conservation and leadership.

Our programs are experiential and involve inquiry-based field science through curricula and hands on participation in a real conservation/research program. We promote a deeper understanding of natural systems and the importance of research and conservation for the long term sustainability of life on Earth. We work both with local Costa Ricans and foreign students between 15-19 years old. Field programs are 4 to 12 days in length.

Our foreign students (mainly from US) visit a rainforest station where we focus our curriculum on rainforest ecology and biodiversity; students participate in forest hikes and night walks and many other educational and fun activities. The program itinerary includes a visit to a local high school to participate in a cultural exchange and finishes with a white water rafting or zip-line trip.

Instructors may also lead short educational trips for adults or companies and promote outreach activities for local students.
