Become a FMNP Instructor
Why should I consider becoming an FMNP Instructor?
- FMNP Instructors must apply. Applications will be evaluated by the FMNP Advisory Board and/or FMNP Program Office. Qualifications include appropriate educational and/or practical experience, access to suitable educational facilities for teaching classes, and regional need.
- There is no cost to becoming an FMNP Instructor.
- Lead and Associate Instructors may generate programmatic funds for their educational program by receiving a portion of student tuition ($95/student for Core courses, $80/student for Special Topics courses, provided to the Instructor's organization).
- FMNP Instructors can train their own volunteers and employees, and strengthen environmental education programs in their communities by providing training to others.
- Student final projects may benefit the Instructor's organization by providing creative ideas and solutions that improve environmental education programming.
- FMNP Instructors will become part of regional and statewide efforts to create a workforce of trained Master Naturalists to assist in environmental education and to promote a greater understanding of Florida’s ecosystems among residents and visitors.
