Westport, Massachusetts - The Westport River Watershed Alliance is seeking
two full time Commonwealth Corps volunteers to serve as Environmental
Educators.  The Commonwealth Corps volunteers will deliver our Watershed
Education Programs to children in grades PreK-12, and launch additional

volunteers with the Westport River Watershed Alliance will serve 10.5
months in a full-time capacity. Applicants should be Massachusetts
residents and have a desire to put their talents and ideas to use in the
service of their communities and the Commonwealth.

Westport River Watershed Alliance’s mission is to restore, protect,
celebrate and sustain the natural resources of the Westport River and its
watershed.  WRWA has been a leading environmental agency for over 40 years
with three overarching goals- to preserve and improve the watershed,
advocate for wise use of natural resources, and educate the public about
the interrelationship of water, soils, plants and living species.


The mission of the Commonwealth Corps is to engage Massachusetts residents
of all ages and backgrounds in service to strengthen communities, address
unmet community needs, and increase volunteerism. Members will serve in a
stipended full-time capacity from 8/15/16 - 6/24/17. Benefits include a
focus on member training and development, as well as a bi-weekly stipend, a
completion award, an inspiring network of fellow members, and other
