About ONREP Facilitators

**ONREP IS RECRUITING A NEW COHORT OF FACILITATORS - Application deadline is February 1st, 2025. To apply, please fill out the facilitator application.**

ONREP facilitators are experienced professionals located throughout Oregon who provide professional development workshops for PreK-12 educators in their region and/or statewide with the support and guidance of ONREP staff. Workshops are held online, in-person, or are a hybrid between online and in-person delivery. Our facilitators are knowledgable and passionate about environmental education, most of them are classroom teachers, nonformal educators (i.e. 4-H, Scouts, after-school programming), and professionals from natural resources organizations and agencies (such as nature centers, museums, aquariums, zoos).
