Employment Opportunities

At Merrohawke, we are dedicated to fostering a deep connection between children, nature, and community. Inspired by the principles and practices of Waldorf education, our programs emphasize hands-on, experiential learning that integrates nature-based practices, creativity, and holistic child development

Together our teaching teams create time and space for youth to grow strong by nature in a way that honors their age and developmental stage. We do so in all weather, in all habitats, in all seasons. We are outdoors in rain, snow, sun, fog, winter, summer, fall, and spring as we explore rivers, oceans, salt marsh, sandy beaches, mudflats, coastal ocean waters, forests, vernal pools, broad green lawns, and meadows. We care deeply about protecting the sacred childhood years, and in this way, guide experiential learning in nature that inspires empathy, resilience, grit, and a deep connection to nature.

We always welcome interest, as our needs vary by season.

Merrohawke Nature School is committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace and strongly encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds, including Native Americans, Indigenous peoples, people of color, women, LGBTQIA+ individuals, veterans, and those from other underrepresented communities. We are an equal-opportunity employer dedicated to creating a workplace that values and respects the unique perspectives each individual brings to our team.
