COME WORK FOR US!
The Education/Outreach Division at 1854 Treaty Authority is hiring TWO Education/Outreach Aides for the 2024 summer season. These are limited term positions through August 23rd, 2024. Application materials are due March 26th, 2024.
As the climate changes and seasonal patterns shift, the exercise of treaty rights and other life-ways becomes threatened. Our finned, winged, and 4-legged relatives feel those pressures too.
Building resilience to changing climate conditions is a process not an outcome. None of us are alone in this endeavor. It takes strong multi-disciplinary, multi-sector, multi-organization collaboration, partnerships, and trusting relationships to continue to ADAPT as conditions change. Join us and #BeResilient
