Educator, Tookany/Tacony-Frankford Watershed Partnership

The Educator will work with businesses, community organizations, schools and existing TTF partners to provide education and service-learning opportunities related to watershed issues and stormwater management. The goal of the Educator is to provide stormwater management and watershed education and to promote clean water practices through a series of lessons, trainings and stewardship activities. Once the VISTA has become familiar with stormwater management, watershed education, neighborhood issues, lesson planning and event coordination, s/he will begin to make connections with businesses, community organizations, schools and partners in the watershed. S/he will have the opportunity to draft a year long education/service-learning plan as well as organize and lead watershed presentations and workshops for new and existing partners. Apply online here.

Increase watershed awareness in the Tookany/Tacony-Frankford Watershed by working with grassroots environmental organization, the Tookany/Tacony-Frankford Watershed Partnership, Inc. (TTF), a non-profit connecting residents, businesses and government as neighbors and stewards of this impaired, but critically important watershed in the Philadelphia metro region. Through educational programming, community outreach, networking services, and project coordination, TTF facilitates, supports, and initiates efforts to restore the health of the watershed, and to mobilize its communities as watershed stewards. TTF’s mission is to enhance the health and vitality of the Tookany/Tacony-Frankford Creek and its watershed. The TTF office is located at the Awbury Arboretum in the Germantown section of Philadelphia.
