The mission of Science Moab is to uplift Southeast Utah by engaging community members with the science happening here. Our vision is that Southeast Utah be recognized for its contributions to scientific knowledge and its longstanding Indigenous knowledge. We work to ensure that local communities benefit educationally, economically, and environmentally from the science being done in the region. Science Moab seeks a VISTA to help the organization enact strategies and track metrics outlined in the strategic plan; develop reports, assist with graphic design, website maintenance, and written media; assist with organizational duties such as tax preparation and compliances; and assist the board of directors with occasional organizational development tasks. Importantly, the Organizational Development VISTA will help strengthen programming aimed towards low-income and underrepresented youth and adults. The Organizational Development VISTA will split time supporting each of Science Moab’s three programs (Outreach, School to Science, and Science Certified) as well as the organization as a whole. As such, the Organizational Development VISTA will report to Science Moab’s three program directors, and occasionally to the board of directors. While broad tasks and timelines have been developed for three programs and the organization as a whole, the Organizational Development VISTA will be responsible for breaking down these milestones into more detailed, manageable components and schedules. With a great degree of independence, this position is dynamic, strategic, and creative, offering the unique opportunity to shape a popular local nonprofit for years to come.
