Climate Action Leader

Our City Forest (OCF) Service Team Members are sponsored in part by the National Service organization, AmeriCorps, and are expected to commit to a term of service. Team Members will have training at the beginning of the term. Each Team Member will be assigned to a primary team, but will support other groups when needed. The teams are Community Forestry (Planting, Tree Care, Lawn Busters), or Community Nursery.

All members will:

• be trained on the best practices of maintaining a green and healthy urban forest in the Silicon Valley,
• strive to build capacity in the community and maximize volunteer participation in their individual programs, acting as coaches and coordinators,
• conduct outreach to residents and businesses to educate on best urban forestry practices and the importance of environmental stewardship
• provide friendly, professional customer service
• actively seek opportunities for greening projects
• organize and implement projects

JOB DESCRIPTIONS PER TEAM

The proportion of field-to-office work varies with program and team assignment and different roles will be assigned depending on interests, skills, and the team’s needs as decided by the team manager.
