Join Us & Work at ESC
The Environmental Science Center (ESC) is a non-profit organization offering experiential environmental education programs at local beaches, streams, forested areas, and in classrooms throughout south King County. Our goals are to foster environmental stewardship actions in all participants of our programs, and to offer knowledge and resources for communities to deepen their relationship with their local environment. ESC recognizes that many communities in south King County – particularly Black, Indigenous, People of Color, immigrant/refugee, and low-income communities – have been systematically excluded from safe, positive, and relevant outdoor experiences, and we are striving to change that. We aim to remove some of the barriers to these experiences by providing free and low-cost programs, and by working to create a safe and affirming space within our programs and in the broader community.
Salmon Naturalist (Fall 2025)
Salmon Naturalists are part-time seasonal educators who facilitate the Environmental Science Center’s (ESC) Salmon Heroes field trip program for south King County schools. Salmon Heroes is a four-part program focused on watershed health, salmon ecology, and human-salmon connections; it includes both classroom and field study components. Field study activities include water quality testing, salmon dissection, and a stream survey. ESC’s broad goals are to foster environmental stewardship actions in all participants of our programs, and to offer knowledge and resources for communities to deepen their relationship with the local environment.
