Families Outdoors presents A Fresh Start

We’ve missed getting outdoors with you and are humbled by the amazing work you’ve been doing in your communities. Thank you for continuing to serve your community members in such vital ways.

As you know, we’ve taken a hiatus from leading in-person programming since COVID-19 hit. We have used that time to reimagine the way we work with partners so that we can increase opportunities for families to get outdoors together close to home. We are excited to share two big changes. First, we are now going to fall within the newly created Center for Outdoor Learning and Leadership (COLL). COLL is not a physical place-it is a unifying structure within which Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC) volunteers and staff offer Conservation Knowledge, Outdoor Skills, and Leadership Training programs throughout our region encompassing the Northeast and Mid- Atlantic. We will be transitioning to the name Families Outdoors to reflect our main mission of helping families get outdoors no matter where they are.

Second, we are shifting our model from being reliant on paid staff offering programs to an approach where staff support and coach trained volunteers in a variety of roles. We believe this will increase our capacity to support partners and to offer Families Outdoors programming both in our current communities, and across AMC’s region. Our 12 volunteer-led chapters already offer nearly 6,000 programs every year with trained volunteers both close to home and further away. We plan to share what we know about volunteer recruitment and training to equip parents, volunteers, and staff to offer the same high quality close to home programs, but in more communities and we hope with more frequency. The AMC has a proven track record of high success when working with volunteers, and we are excited to continue moving forward and growing our reach!

In the coming month we will be sending a longer update of what this will look like, but as we form our next steps for Families Outdoors it will help us to get a better sense of how we can best work with you. You are the steadfast supporters of our programming, and we truly could not still be here without you. If you wouldn’t mind, please take a few short minutes to fill out this survey to help us better understand how we can work together going forward. 

We really look forward to continuing our partnership with you. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any further questions or comments.

Gratefully,

Leah, and the Families Outdoors Team

Our Philosophy

Phoenix Charter Academy’s mission is to challenge young people in our area with an academically rigorous and individually tailored curriculum. Phoenix scholars will have the support, resources and training needed to succeed academically in high school and college, and become economically secure in their future. Phoenix Charter Academy is named after a mythological figure of strength, healing and renewal.

 

Phoenix schools challenge resilient, disconnected young people with rigorous academics and relentless supports, so they take ownership of their futures and succeed in high school, college, and as self-sufficient adults.

 

At Phoenix we do not just accept difference – we celebrate it, support it, and thrive on it for the benefit of our scholars and the communities we serve. We believe difference makes us stronger. Phoenix Charter Academy is an equal opportunity employer and as such, we do not discriminate against any team member or candidate because of race, creed, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, national origin, disability, age, veteran status, marital status, pregnancy, or any other basis protected by federal, state or local law. Phoenix Charter Academy is committed to making any reasonable accommodation necessary to support an individual’s employment.

 

The Opportunity

Phoenix Charter Academy is seeking a Child Development Center Assistant Teacher (CDC Assistant Teacher) to join our team in Chelsea. The Assistant Teacher is responsible for supporting the Lead Teacher in developing and implementing a program of activities in the Child Development Center that promotes the social, emotional, and physical development of each child enrolled. The Assistant Teacher also works closely with our young parents, supporting them in their path to high school success.  The Child Development center enrolls up to 20 young scholars each academic quarter, with an age range of a few months old to 4 years old.

 

Qualities of a Phoenix team member: 

 

  • Unwavering Belief in Phoenix Scholars – Phoenix staff operate with the deeply held belief that all young people want to and can succeed even in the face of what can seem like insurmountable barriers and societal constraints.
  • Ability to Put Scholars First – Phoenix staff go above and beyond to ensure mastery of the skills and development of positive self-identity that will ensure success for college, careers and beyond.  Phoenix staff find every opportunity to engage in teaching and learning with scholars, using conflict to build supportive relationships with scholars and never taking things personally.
  • Eager to Learn Under Pressure – Phoenix staff must be able to learn as they go in a fast paced, ever evolving, urgent environment. They have the desire to receive direct feedback and the ability to implement the feedback into practice quickly.
  • Humility – Phoenix staff approach problem solving with curiosity and desire to understand the perspectives of others. They carry an internalized sense of “I can always learn more”  from others, and know that adults at Phoenix must model the qualities of being open-minded and willing to make mistakes and learn from them.
  • Experience with Low Income Communities –  Staff have the proven ability to work across cultures and experience serving low-income communities and/or academically-disconnected adolescents.
  • Ability to Find Inspiration In the Small Things – In the face of challenge and hard work,  Phoenix staff must have the ability to find humor, inspiration, success and joy in the day to day interactions with scholars and the larger Phoenix Community.
  • Personal Commitment to Cultural Proficiency and Ongoing Development – Phoenix staff are ongoing learners about diversity, equity and inclusion and seek to understand the ways that their self-identity and experiences impacts and interacts with their daily work, colleagues and scholars.
