Education and Outreach Coordinator
I'm responsible for communications and outreach for a nonprofit conservation organization.
I spend a lot of time listening to stories and news of the industry and then deciding which of those stories I want to share. I'll read a lot of news, watch videos, and research to find out what's going on in the world and what's resonating with people. Then, I decide how I want to tell those stories. For example, I'll design a poster to share an important message. I also work on outreach opportunities. I'll spend time meeting face-to-face with our members and sharing the great work that we do.
Here's the first step for everyone
Informational interviews are so powerful. I highly recommend finding someone who has a job that you want or that works in the industry you're interested in and asking them for an informational interview. Come up with questions you want to know about the job or field. They may even end up connecting you with opportunities that can help move you forward!
