The OSU Extension Service Outdoor School program Advisory Committee needs three new members (to start in April 2020), and we hope you'll help us find them! Per ORS 327.390, the Advisory Committee meets quarterly (twice in person and twice virtually) to review, discuss, and recommend to the Extension Service Director the standards for, and the distribution of money for outdoor school programs. Advisory Committee members serve for three years.

To ensure our program adequately and equitably serves all Oregonians, we are prioritizing applications from Oregonians who live in southern and eastern Oregon and/or those who are members of the Hispanic or Latin(x), American Indian, Black or African American, Asian or Pacific Islander, or other racial/cultural communities, the LGBTQ+ communities, and/or the disabled, the blind/visually-impaired, or Deaf/hearing impaired communities.

Also note, the Outdoor School program does not want Advisory Committee Membership to be a financial burden to those who serve on the committee, so stipends and travel reimbursements are available for those who qualify to participate but need support to make participation possible.

If you are interested in applying, or know someone whom you think would be interested and qualified, please apply using the button to the right, or pass this page on before December 31, 2019.
