Program and Outreach Coordinator
Posted 8.14.2025
The Program and Outreach Coordinator will support the Yew Mountain Center’s mission to provide programs that explore Appalachian ecology, culture, and the arts while promoting personal and community wellness. This hourly position is for approximately 25hrs/week through March with a plan to continue beyond that date as funding allows. A combination of remote work and on-site work is possible, but this position cannot be fully remote.
Project Management
The P&OC will help oversee the execution of grant deliverables and keep records of activities for several projects:
Educational Outreach
The P&OC will liaise with area teachers and organizations about YMC programs and offerings such as field trips, trail usage, and Master Naturalist opportunities. Ideally the P&OC will provide educational support for these programs, but can also be helpful in an administrative role. They may also help create and publicize educational content to raise public awareness about programs and goals of the YMC and the West Virginia Forest Farming Initiative
Development Support
The Yew Mountain Center depends on grants and donations for its operational costs and is planning a capital campaign to purchase the 500 acres that the organization currently stewards. The P&OC may play a supportive role in grant seeking and donor relations to help develop the capacity and grow the impact of the YMC.
Qualities Sought
We are seeking a good communicator and collaborator with experience in project management in a related field. Educational experience and knowledge of Appalachian ecology is a plus. The Yew Mountain Center is a small and adaptable organization. This job description can be adjusted for the right candidate.
Please send a resume, references, and a brief letter of interest to [email protected].
