AmeriCorps Service Member Position with TerraCorps & The Westerly Land Trust
TerraCorps is a nonprofit organization working at the intersection of land conservation, sustainable farming, and local food systems to build local nonprofit capacity while growing the next generation of emerging leaders committed to making a difference at the community level. Service members are paired with a site supervisor who provides guidance and mentorship while they learn to manage community programs and projects over a 1,700-hour service term.

The 2026–27 service year runs September 8, 2026, to July 30, 2027.

The Westerly Land Trust is interviewing candidates for a Land Stewardship Coordinator (LSC). The LSC will engage with the Land Stewardship Manager to manage volunteers on community service projects, educate or train individuals in
environmental stewardship or environmentally conscious practices, and complete three capacity building projects.

Potential projects include:

• Create and implement a long-term monitoring program related to the ongoing ecological and agricultural restoration of a 7-acre gravel pit at WLT's Champlin Farm Preserve.
• Increase existing volunteer efficiency through the creation of site chairs/property manager positions and training appointees on stewardship priorities and best management practices.
• Launch a community education campaign to empower volunteers to conduct invasive plant management effectively and independently.
