Explore a career at the Schuylkill Center
Founded in 1965 as a pioneer in a then-new field called environmental education, the Schuylkill Center continues to innovate, teach, and grow. We are guided by our vision to create a world where all people play, learn, and grow with nature as part of their everyday lives. Our expert staff comes from a variety of backgrounds, fields, and experience.
We are a leader in land restoration and stewardship practices, using our 365 acres of open space, the largest privately protected open space in Philadelphia, as a living laboratory for balancing stewardship with active use. Our Nature Preschool, started in 2013, was the first such nature-based program in Pennsylvania. Since 2000, we have operated a cutting-edge environmental art program, the only one of its kind in an American nature center. Founded in 1987, our Wildlife Clinic is one of the few in the region, and the only one in the city of Philadelphia. Camp Schuylkill, after-school program, and day-off camps provide thousands of kids with immersive experiences in nature, which mounting evidence shows benefits children, and people, in innumerable ways.
