Program Description: The Great Peninsula Conservancy (GPC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit land trust dedicated to protecting the natural habitats, rural landscapes, and open spaces of the Great Peninsula region of west Puget Sound, Washington. GPC’s work is accomplished through conservation, stewardship, and community engagement. The Land Labs program utilizes local protected lands to enhance the quality of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) education in local schools. The program engages students directly in big‑picture environmental concerns affecting their communities, opening students’ eyes to professional opportunities in environmental science and preparing students from low‑income families and underachieving schools for success in post‑secondary education and STEM careers. By creating a pathway toward economic opportunity, the program supports AmeriCorps VISTA’s poverty‑alleviating goals.
To apply, send a cover letter and resume to Paige Morris (paige@greatpeninsula.org). Applications are also accepted through AmeriCorps.gov, but a cover letter and resume must follow up with an interview. For more information, visit
