Our forest school educators work in diverse natural landscapes-forests, ocean sides, and parks-encouraging play and curiosity. At Saplings, we slow the pace of the day, giving children time and space to learn, connect, and form caring relationships.

Our organization is committed to providing a safe and equitable space for all. We fiercely protect the right of educators and children to belong and feel safe, and we actively implement anti-racist, anti-homophobic, and anti-transphobic practices.

Why Should You Apply?

Saplings offers a flexible work schedule and great work-life balance. Our educators often note the positive effects of working in beautiful outdoor classrooms on their mood and sense of well-being. If you’re seeking a meaningful role in education that aligns with your philosophy of nature-based and child-centered programming, this role is for you.

Who Should Apply?

We employ individuals from a variety of backgrounds and firmly believe that diverse expertise enriches the children’s learning environment. Saplings recognizes the importance of strengthening values of equity, social justice, diversity, and inclusion.
