Do you want to serve your community while protecting the environment and getting professional experience with a land conservation nonprofit?

Whether you are passionate about conservation, land access, or sustainable agriculture, TerraCorps is here to help you serve local communities and build professional skills through transformative experiences.

TerraCorps is an AmeriCorps affiliated nonprofit preparing and mobilizing the next generation of emerging leaders committed to making a difference at the community level. We do this by partnering with a network of nonprofits in Massachusetts and Rhode Island focused on community needs related to local land conservation and sustainable farming. These partners act as service sites for a new cohort of AmeriCorps service members annually. Service members are paired with a site supervisor who provides guidance and mentorship while they learn to manage community programs and projects in one of 5 coordinator positions:  Community Engagement Coordinators (CEC), Sustainable Agriculture Coordinators (SAC), Land Stewardship Coordinators (LSC), Youth Education Coordinators (YEC), Land Conservation Coordinator (LCC).

Nashua River Watershed Association is interviewing candidates for a Community Engagement Coordinator (CEC).

• Assisting with community paddles, outdoor recreation programs, and public events that help connect people to the Nashua River and surrounding watershed.
• Supporting community outreach and engagement efforts through public events, community partnerships, social media, and outreach materials.
