PLEASE HELP US MEET THE CHALLENGE!
Flathead Audubon has been challenged by Lex Blood and the
Sustainability Fund to raise matching funds to hire a new
Flathead Audubon Education Coordinator for 2006.
Like last year’s Coordinator, this year’s Coordinator will help
promote and upgrade the educational materials that Flathead
Audubon makes available to educators, organize and oversee the
checkout of these materials, and network with other science
educators in the Flathead to promote nature education.
The new Coordinator will also have new duties: align the FAS
educational materials to the state educational curriculum
standards; present information about the FAS materials to
gatherings of educators, such as the Early Education Conference
in April; provide educational presentations about birds for
school classrooms and for other groups of youngsters, such as
after-school programs or home-school students; and organize and
help develop materials for a 2-day teacher’s workshop, designed
to teach the teachers about birds, and to provide ideas for
lessons and student activities they can use to teach their
students about birds.
This expansion of the Coordinator’s job is possible because we
have been able to double the Coordinator’s stipend – from $2500
last year to $5000 this year.
The increase is made possible by the generous Challenge Grant
offered to us by the Sustainability Fund. The Sustainability
Fund will provide $3000 toward the increased stipend if Flathead
Audubon can provide a matching $2000.
We now face the big challenge of coming up with this $2000 in
matching funds.
