Our mission is to teach and frame science and nature-based education through a lens that centers and elevates the stories, ways of knowing, individual needs, and lived experiences of Black and Brown communities. ELSO seeks to reduce the achievement gap in STEAMED (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math, Environment, Design) education and professions while creating a sense of belonging for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color in the natural and built environments. ELSO uses a multi-cultural approach to STEAMED education rooted in environmental justice and cultural history. We are demonstrating a model for STEAMED education led by People of Color.ELSO\'s Studio Justice (SJ) enables leadership and agency for youth ages 14-20 to use design as a tool for racial, social, economic, and sustainable justice. SJ aims to expand our youth\'s STEAMED career pathways to include the professions in the built environment while widening their exposure to green sector careers. Through this vital opportunity, participants will learn about their personal STEAM and socioeconomic identities and be introduced, educated, and mentored in designing public spaces, the power of place, and health equity for under-resourced communities.There are no student fees for Studio Justice program events. Instead, we ensure participants receive a scholarship stipend as a just and direct response to historical barriers, constraints, and lack of investment and resources that keep Black and Brown communities from pursuing careers in the Architectural, Engineering, Construction, and Design (AECD) industry.POSITION OVERVIEWThe role of the Program Administrator (PA) is to support the robust and efficient systems across Studio Justice.
