The Teanaway Engagement Coordinator will join our growing team in Kittitas County, working with a wide array of partners in the Yakima River Basin, to oversee activities that ensure support for the Teanaway Community Forest (TCF). This position is the connective tissue between land managers, tribal entities, conservation professionals, outdoor recreation enthusiasts, local residents, and elected officials working towards the watershed health goals of the TCF! The Coordinator will leverage strong communication and relationship-building skills to connect local, regional, and underrepresented communities to the TCF. In addition to working closely with Kittitas staff and partners, this position will regularly interact with staff across the Greenway Trust and our extensive network for supporters.

A successful Coordinator will forge relationships with longstanding and new supporters, translate management decisions into compelling stories that appeal to broad audiences, and engage communities in volunteerism and advocacy. They may have experience creating outreach plans, coordinating events, speaking publicly, or fostering a sense of teamwork among unlikely partners. Candidates must be able to demonstrate experience incorporating diversity, equity, and inclusion principles into their work.
