Start date: July 2, 2025

Compensation: $40,000-$45,000 salary with benefit package

Background:

Earth Rangers is the kids’ conservation organization, committed to instilling environmental knowledge, positivity, and the confidence to take action in children. We do this through a suite of programming that children can participate in at school, at home, and in their communities. All of these programs are educational and engaging—but more importantly, they show children that it’s not too late to help the planet, and the things we do today will matter tomorrow.

The School Assembly was the first Earth Rangers program, and has been running consistently since 2004. It began in the Greater Toronto Area, expanding across Ontario in 2008 and then across Canada in 2011. The assembly has been delivered to over 2.1 million elementary students from coast to coast to coast, and consistently receives rave reviews from students, teachers, and administrators alike. The program is offered to schools 100% free of charge, has incredible production value, and inspires kids to join Earth Rangers through our follow-up programming.

Historically, all programs have been run out of our head office just outside of Toronto, with delivery teams travelling from there to deliver across the country.  However, with the growing demand for French language programming and our increasing presence in Eastern Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes, we are now establishing a team based in Montreal for the first time.

 

Position Profile:

The successful candidate will be friendly, outgoing, enjoy interacting with kids and adults, and represent Earth Rangers in a positive and brand-aligned way.

Presentation delivery includes commuting to/from schools, loading/unloading the show equipment from the vehicle and setting up/tearing down the set in each school.

During times where there are no shows scheduled, other tasks may be assigned related to customer service, content review or development, quality assurance and administration.  During the summer months, the focus will be on learning the new presentation and rehearsing.

Many of the schools visited will be in the Montreal area however travel will be required outside of the Montreal area, including other areas of Quebec, Eastern Ontario and the Maritimes.  All travel expenses outside of Montreal will be covered by Earth Rangers including travel to the Earth Rangers Centre north of Toronto for training and rehearsals.
