Junior Instructor Program

For an early career naturalist, bird guide, and/or environmental educator.

The Junior Instructor Program began in the summer of 2021 as a way to engage early career naturalists, bird guides, and environmental educators with our work at Hog Island Audubon Camp.  Now this fully-fledged program has expanded to most camp sessions over the season and allows people to gain work experience, network with our world-renowned instructor teams, and possibly find new mentors to continue their career journeys.  Early career for us means within 10 years of your post-graduation date from college/tech school/etc. or a new career choice.  Some preference is given to past Hog Island camp alumni but it is not a requirement.  Junior Instructors are given financial compensation for their time and all room/board is provided during their camp week.

Applications open each year in late fall and the deadline to apply is February 1st.
