Petals Learning Community Seeks Mentor/Facilitator

Mentor/facilitator wanted. Petals Learning Community (petalslearningcommunity.org) is a new self-directed education program in Topanga Canyon, in the Santa Monica Mountains of Los Angeles. We utilize the public library, the beach, the 11,000 state park, and a wonderful space in the canyon to give children ages five and up an opportunity for meaningful relationships with peers, elders, youngers, mentors, and mother earth. Petals is an acronym for “Play, Earth, Tinkering, Arts, Language, and Strength,” because the priorities of the families in the canyon are free play, nature immersion, artistic expression, storytelling, and fitness/nutrition. We are seeking a full time mentor with experience in self-directed learning, nature connection, arts, and/or outdoor adventure. Pay is $41,000. Must live near Topanga and be available by Aug 15. Zoom interviews will be conducted the first and second week of July, 2019.
