Project Mumbai Is Hiring Facilitators for Its Zero Waste Schools Program in Thane
Environmental education just got a fresh push in Thane, with Project Mumbai announcing multiple openings for the role of Facilitator — Zero Waste Schools. The initiative is aimed at building sustainability awareness among school students through hands-on, activity-based learning, and the organization is looking to hire immediately.
About the Opportunity
Project Mumbai, a non-profit known for its community-driven work under the tagline "People. Purpose. Positive Change," is expanding its Zero Waste Schools program across Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) schools. The role is open to candidates with 0–1 years of experience, making it an accessible entry point for young graduates who are passionate about the environment and education.
This is a paid, multiple-hire position, and the organization is prioritizing quick onboarding for interested applicants.
Role Overview
Position: Facilitator, Zero Waste Schools Reporting to: Project Officer Location: Thane Duration: 17 months, with immediate joining Compensation: Per-session basis
What the Job Involves
Selected facilitators will work directly with students from TMC schools, engaging children between the 4th and 8th grades in structured environmental learning. The core responsibilities include:
Conducting a minimum of 5 activity-based sessions per month
Running each session for approximately 1.5 hours
Committing to the role for at least one full academic year
Documenting every session through photos and videos for reporting and impact tracking
The sessions are designed to be interactive rather than lecture-based, helping students understand waste management and sustainability through practical, age-appropriate activities.
Who Should Apply
Project Mumbai is looking for candidates who bring both an academic foundation and a genuine interest in community and environmental work. The ideal candidate profile includes:
A bachelor's degree in any stream
A real passion for environment and sustainability
Prior experience in community outreach, teaching, environmental initiatives, or children-focused projects — facilitating educational or activity-based sessions is a strong plus
Proficiency in Hindi and Marathi, given the local nature of the school engagements
This makes the role well-suited to recent graduates, educators, and early-career professionals who want meaningful, purpose-driven work rather than a conventional desk job.
How to Apply
Interested candidates can apply by emailing their CV to environment@projectmumbai.org, using the subject line "Name – Facilitator Application."
Since the organization is hiring for multiple positions with immediate joining, early applications are likely to be prioritized.
Why This Role Matters
Programs like Zero Waste Schools play a critical role in shaping environmental consciousness at a young age. By working directly with students in the 4th to 8th grade range, facilitators aren't just delivering sessions — they're helping build habits and awareness that can influence how an entire generation thinks about waste, consumption, and sustainability.
For anyone based in or around Thane who wants to combine grassroots impact with a stable, paid engagement, this Project Mumbai opening is worth a serious look.
