The mission of the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribal Department of Public Safety is to protect life and property, maintain order, investigate crimes, enforce all applicable laws and ordinances, protect natural resources, enforce Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribal Fishing, Hunting, and Forest codes, investigate violations, arrest and issue citations on violators within the boundaries of the Port Gamble S’Klallam Reservation and within the boundaries of the Point No Point Treaty Area.
The Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe, originally known as the Nux Sklai Yem or The Strong People, are descendants of the Salish peoples with ancestral ties to the Kitsap Peninsula that date back at least 1,000 years. Many of the Port Gamble S’Klallam’s members—totaling over 1,400—live on the Tribe’s reservation, which is located on the northern tip of Kitsap County in Washington state, near the neighboring towns of Kingston, Poulsbo, Indianola, Hansville, Port Gamble, and Bainbridge Island.
Kitsap County is known for its outdoor recreational opportunities—including a well-maintained trail system—as well as award-winning restaurants, highly-ranked public schools, and picturesque, friendly communities. Plus Kitsap County is one of the most affordable places to live in western Washington, offering the charm of small-town life with access to the hustle-and-bustle of downtown Seattle, which is only a relaxing 30-minute ferry ride away.
The Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe offers a generous compensation package that includes medical/dental/vision benefits, short-term and long-term disability, 401k plan, PTO, and paid holidays, including your birthday. Also including n on-site library, coffee shop, fitness center, health clinic (with access to massage therapy, physical therapy, behavioral health, medical/dental and women’s health).
Salary is competitive with range dependent on experience and individual qualifications.
Job Summary:
The Outdoor Education Program Coordinator leads the Tribe’s Outdoor Education Program, a culturally grounded program connecting tribal and community members of all ages to the outdoors, the S’Klallam language, and tribal ways of knowing. The program is opening the door to serve students of all ages, engage families, and offer community classes alongside the original after-school programming.
This is a program leadership role. The Coordinator oversees a growing team of teachers and program staff who deliver outdoor and cultural learning across multiple age groups and formats, rather than teaching a fixed daily schedule personally, and is responsible for designing, staffing, and evaluating the program’s expansion into family engagement and community classes, in addition to continuing to strengthen the existing K–3 after-school program and the separate before-school program. The Coordinator works under the guidance of the Director of the PGST Department of Education.
An ideal candidate brings program development and management experience, supervisory experience, grant management experience, strong writing skills, and a genuine connection to the cultural arts, history, sciences, and people of the S’Klallam Tribe. This person will build and document program standards, curriculum, staffing structures, and partnership agreements across all program strands, and will work collaboratively with school district staff, Tribal departments, families, and the Education Director to position the program for sustainable, long-term growth.
