About La Veta Trails<\/strong><\/p>\n

La Veta Trails connects people with the trails, landscapes, and natural and cultural resources of the Spanish Peaks region through stewardship, restoration, and education, inspiring a deeper understanding, meaningful relationships, and a lasting commitment to caring for these places for generations to come.<\/p>\n

LVT has grown from a community trail organization into a regional stewardship organization. Through volunteer stewardship, ecological restoration, and environmental education, we create opportunities for people to connect with and care for the places that make this region special.<\/p>\n

The Opportunity<\/strong><\/p>\n

LVT is seeking an experienced, mission-driven nonprofit leader to serve as Executive Director and help shape the organization\u2019s next chapter.<\/p>\n

The Executive Director will lead a small, growing rural nonprofit while building the financial and organizational capacity needed to expand LVT\u2019s impact. Fundraising and resource development are central to the role, along with organizational leadership, program development, partnership building, volunteer engagement, and community outreach.<\/p>\n

This is a hands-on position. The Executive Director will work closely with the Board, volunteers, partners, and community members to move projects forward and represent LVT throughout the Spanish Peaks region.<\/p>\n

We are looking for someone who can move comfortably between strategy and action\u2014someone who can build relationships, raise resources, manage a budget, support programs, and roll up their sleeves when the work calls for it.<\/p>\n

Most importantly, we are looking for a leader who cares deeply about this place and is inspired by the opportunity to connect people with the land and help cultivate a culture of stewardship in the Spanish Peaks region.<\/p>\n
