KyAEC Seeks Agriculture Adventures Coordinator

Kentucky Agriculture and Environment in the Classroom is seeking a part-time contract Education/Marketing Coordinator for our Agriculture Adventures Program, which is a mobile education program that teaches K-5 students about agriculture through a high-energy 40-minute assembly and hands-on activities. The ideal candidate will:

• Have a basic understanding of agriculture and farming.
• Be able to perform a scripted program that is engaging and entertaining. Coordinators must also have ability to adapt the show when surprises occur. 
• Drive and operate a 14-foot box truck and pass a CDL health certificate exam.
• Assist in loading and unloading the truck, which includes several pieces of large, heavy equipment, up and down a steel ramp. 
• Be able to stand/walk for several hours at a time.
• Have a basic understanding of electronics and sound equipment. 
• Communicate with school officials, sponsors, and volunteers about program requirements through phone calls and email.
• Work with volunteers to help them provide the hands-on activities following the assembly. 
• Market the program through mail, phone calls, and electronic media to sell bookings at schools and education programs. 
• Spend 8-10 weekday evenings away from home each month during peak program times (spring and fall). 
• Have flexibility to provide shows. Program days will vary.
• Reside within a 50-mile radius of Shepherdsville, KY. Strong candidates that do not meet this requirement may still be considered. 

The chosen coordinator will receive $50 for each program booking (with receipt of deposit) and $250 for each show provided. Peak months (March, April, May, September, October, and November) could provide the potential to earn $2,500 or more per month. Successful marketing will result in more shows and higher earning potential. Contract period is January through December 2016 and may be renewed upon providing a successful program.
