Co-Directors
the Field Semester
Port Costa, CA
July 2024
The Field Semester, a new immersive semester program in Northern California for high school juniors and seniors, is seeking two authentic, inspiring, and passionate leaders to join them as inaugural Co-Directors of the school.
“Stewardship is the foundational value of The Field Semester. How can we exist in a way that takes care of our human peers, of our human systems, and of the natural world? What do we need to know, what do we need to think about in order to do that well? And then what are all the skill sets that we need to have to be able to put all of those different considerations together into meaningful change?”
—Yaeir Heber, Co-Founder
