In our mission to enrich, empower, and connect our diverse community through arts and culture, we especially encourage people of color, people who live in rural areas, women, immigrants, people whose first language is not English, people with disabilities, and LGBTQ people to consider applying for this position.
This position is an excellent opportunity to develop new skills in arts administration, communications, nonprofit operations, and more, and is designed to support the employee’s professional development through a mentorship model. This position is also designed to optionally incorporate opportunities for outside training in the employee’s desired areas for growth, such as grantwriting or bookkeeping, in addition to regular duties assigned.
This position is supported by a generous grant from Pacific Mountain Workforce Development in support of local jobseekers who wish to enter or grow in the field of nonprofit services and administration.
