Whether on a hike, in a canoe, or using a magnifying glass, you’re in love with exploration. You also love facilitating immersive learning. You love the outdoors. You love working with people of all ages and background to help them build their best selves.


Team Imo is always looking for experienced or growing adventure facilitators to help round out a pool of program staff for per diem events and programs. We are seeking engaging educators dedicated to asking questions as much as giving answers. Areas of special focus are:

· Hike guides

· Nature education specialists

· Flatwater paddling guides

· Challenge course facilitators

· Wilderness skills instructors

· Wellness and mindfulness experts

· Leave No Trace instructors

· American Red Cross instructors

· Dialogue facilitators for community programs

· STEAM educators


We are seeking a combination of experienced and certified facilitators as well as new facilitators with a passion for adventure & nature education who are dedicated to gaining training and experience. This opportunity does lead to the potential for per diem work in 2023 as we develop our capacity.

Interested volunteers will succeed in a comprehensive interview process given the nature of the duties and skills required to run programs safely and effectively. They will also pass a comprehensive series of background and reference checks that qualify them to work with children and youth. Please include a description of your experience with skills and/or education when expressing interest.


Team Imo is happy to provide you the space to grow, learn, and develop your interests within our growing charitable organization.

Being part of a creative team is your jam. Telling stories. Digging into facts. You want to help listeners connect to conversation through youth leadership, community access, nature education, and personal stories. Perhaps you have the gift of music and like to compose short music pieces to support a story. Maybe you have an eye for detail and love editing audio.

Project Imo produces a jaunty little conservation podcast where we explore topics of outdoor education, positive youth development, community building, nature education, and how they all connect to protect the natural world. Our team would love support through developing story concepts, research, scripting, and editing. This can lead to guest host opportunities for interested volunteers.


Interested folk will have listened to some Village Voices episodes to see where we’re going and will have a working knowledge of Audacity software for editing or a dedicated interested in learning it. Podcast volunteers can also find space in developing and researching compelling stories or composing short music sections to support the story. Find links to the podcast here https://projectimo.org/village-voices-podcast.


Volunteers can be remote but must have suitable desktop or laptop computing capacity for the role as well as a suitable microphone if eventually working in the recording environment.


Project Imo incorporates youth voice into our work. This opportunity is available to youth to assist.


We’re looking forward to telling stories with you!

Graphic Designers

 

You look at a brochure, website, or professional document and it is filled with vibrant, colorful imagery and captivating language. It draws you to explore more deeply the content inside. This is your area of expertise. You have a knack for design. You know how to connect with people and want to help build a world where people are treated with respect and everyone has access to high quality experiences in nature. You see a deck of cards and wonder how you could design one to be an immersive educational experience for people.


Project Imo is looking for skilled designers of print and digital media to help bring our programs and services to life. If you have a passion for youth leadership, nature, and community success stories AND want to help engage people as part of a team that can make that happen, let us know. Engage your world.


These opportunities have local and remote potential and work on a project-based schedule. The time commitment is highly varied dependent upon the project you select. Projects range from building advertising items to creating art to support our Creative Worlds project where we are developing nature learning through tabletop role-playing game experiences.

It’s not enough that you’re a brilliant scientist, you had to go and be a champion for communicating science to the world. Then you had to go and love the natural world on us. You had us at conservation.


Our team is looking for a science communication guru with a passion for connecting youth and community justice issues into their work in relating stories of the natural world.


Project Imo is a team of many voices. We here at Imo are adventure educators, teachers, social workers, psychologists, police officers and firefighters, engineers, scientists, nonprofit pros, horticulturalists, camp directors, artists… we’ve even got some data architects running amok around here. 


We also fully embrace wondrously diverse approaches to our work. We operate under the prevailing principle that people need to, and can, live harmoniously with the natural world and each other. There are three pillars to our work: youth, communities, and nature. 


We believe that the impact of modern human society on the natural world is the single most pressing concern facing the planet today. 

The impacts of climate change seem distant when you’re having a hard time feeling safe respected in your village or suffer from systemic racism and economic disparity. It can seem difficult and daunting to make impactful steps toward reversing human-made climate change when communities can’t even seem to sit down at the table for a discussion, never mind agree on facts. Communities can be complicated and sometimes messy places. Every person engaging in dialogue that can turn into actionable results.

That takes a lot of energy and even more hope. That’s where youth come in. We here at Project Imo decided that in addition to providing a space for the adventurous natural stewards of tomorrow to build themselves, we also wanted them right there at the table for the work today. It’s their world and they have a passion for protecting it that us old folk simply can’t match. 


If helping Team Imo coordinate these messages makes you feel energized… well… drop a line and communicate that to us.
