4-H and Youth Development Educator

How would you  like to design your own schedule? How about the ability to work from all different locations? Maybe start the morning in an office, head to an outdoor classroom, take a call with an Elected Official, then finish recording a training at home? We are in need of a new 4-H and Youth Development Educator! This role is best fit for someone who has an entrepreneurial spirit! They thrive on setting and achieving goals creatively, growing their knowledge and network, being the “go-to” person for questions around camping, teen leadership, volunteer management, and being part of the greater Wood County community! Sounds great, right?
