About Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado
Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado (VOC) is a leading statewide nonprofit organization dedicated to motivating and enabling people to become active stewards of Colorado’s natural resources. Colorado’s outdoor resources contribute greatly to our health, happiness and state economy, but they also face ongoing stresses and require care and stewardship to ensure long-term sustainability. Leveraging 40 years of experience in outdoor stewardship volunteerism, we engage 5,000 volunteers in hands-on stewardship work each year. We also help other groups develop and grow effective volunteer programs to meet Colorado’s growing stewardship needs. Finally, we foster statewide, cross-industry collaboration to encourage a unified approach to caring for Colorado.
Position Overview
While VOC’s statewide office is based in Denver, a partnership office exists in the San Luis Valley to support the Rio Grande National Forest and the Bureau of Land Management San Luis Valley Field office. This position will support public land stewardship efforts in the San Luis Valley and will be based out of the BLM office in Monte Vista. Onsite supervision is provided by the SLV Programs Manager based in Del Norte.
This job is a great opportunity for someone who is looking to grow their leadership skills, travel regionally leading hands-on environmental stewardship projects, and to learn technical skills in trail work, ecological restoration, forestry, and others. VOC’s Seasonal Field Projects Coordinators meet great people dedicated to taking care of Colorado’s natural resources and build their professional network in the outdoor stewardship industry. This Seasonal Field Projects Coordinator is a full-time, term limited, non-exempt position that reports to VOC’s San Luis Valley Programs Manager in southern Colorado. This position works within the VOC program team and closely with Bureau of Land Management staff to provide professional project management, logistical support, and volunteer leadership coordination on VOC volunteer projects both in the office and in the field. This position presents a good opportunity for someone who would enjoy a balance of both fieldwork and office work coordinating projects with approximately a 50-50% split.
