Description:
The Green Crew is an award-winning, youth-led conservation and environmental leadership program based in Bloomington, MN. Our youth leaders don’t just participate in projects—they set direction, make decisions, and lead teams. We’re seeking Adult Leadership Advisors to join us once a month to support these youth as they grow into confident, thoughtful environmental leaders.
This role is about mentorship, perspective, and trust—not control. You won’t be running meetings or making decisions. Instead, you’ll serve as a sounding board, a steady presence, and a supportive guide as youth leaders navigate planning, collaboration, and leadership challenges.
Your Role:
-
Attend a monthly Green Crew youth leadership meeting
-
Provide consultation and mentorship to youth leaders as requested
-
Help youth think through decisions, priorities, and challenges
-
Share perspective from your own leadership or professional experience
-
Support a culture of accountability, inclusion, and youth agency
Why This Role Matters:
-
Youth leadership thrives when adults show up as allies, not directors
-
Your experience can help young leaders think more strategically and confidently
-
You’ll help cultivate the next generation of environmental and civic leaders
-
This is a meaningful, low-time-commitment way to invest in youth leadership and community impact
You’ll Be a Great Fit If…
-
You enjoy mentoring young people and listening more than directing
-
You have experience in leadership, education, environmental work, nonprofit service, or community organizing
-
You believe young people should have real authority and responsibility
-
You’re comfortable offering guidance while honoring youth-led decision-making
Time Commitment:
Approximately 1–2 hours per month. Meetings are scheduled in advance and may be held in person or virtually.
Location:
Bloomington, MN and surrounding communities (with some virtual participation possible).
