Are you looking to break into the conservation field? Take a look at Greening Youth Foundation’s (GYF) new initiative called ⭐️ The Bridge Project, which is an equitable hiring pathway for the 🌱 environmental sector focused on people of color and underrepresented communities. When you join the project, you get training on cover letter and resume writing, as well as networking and virtual interviewing support.

In GYF’s words 👉 employers across the sector, from federal land management agencies to nonprofit conservation groups, environmental organizations, natural resource management companies, and the outdoor recreation industry struggle to connect with a talented, diverse pool of potential employees. Hiring pathways need to be more consistent and replicable, and they need to be cleared of barriers that have traditionally worked to keep underrepresented candidates from finding permanent jobs in conservation.

Applications for The Bridge Project are now open August 17-August 31. The hiring event will take place October 12-13. Note that the federal positions have their own application timelines, sonplease double-check the appropriate window and apply via USAJobs.gov ➡️ https://www.wildernessstewards.org/thebridgeproject
