The Mid Oregon (High Cascades) Region of the Pacific Crest Trail Association (PCTA) is looking for a Volunteer Coordinator.
This is an UNPAID, home based volunteer position requiring a commitment of 30-40hrs per month. An Oregon location is required as is some travel to meetings, and events in the Cascades area.
Primary duties include managing publicity for the region (including interaction with the press), distributing PCTA recruiting collateral, manning a booth at events, recruiting volunteers by any means possible and determining their allocation to trail sections or projects.
This position also affords a liaison post on the board of the High Cascades Forest Volunteers for the purposes of developing joint training seminars with the US Forest Service.
Previous experience is unnecessary but an ability to herd cats and deal with temper tantrums would be an advantage.
Applicants should be proficient in handling a high volume of e-mail traffic, have basic word processing and spread sheet skills and be capable of operating with little supervision.
This is a “people skills” position that requires patience and imagination but does not involve physical labor.
