Jobs and Volunteering
There are many ways you can get involved and support the work of the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Coalition. Together, we can ensure that as our population grows, there will be parks for our kids, fresh and local food for our families, clean water where we can fish and wildlife areas where hunters can take aim.
The Coalition board and staff have committed to improving Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) in all areas of the Coalition’s work—from staffing and board composition to advancing JEDI through our work. Not only are diverse candidates encouraged to apply, but we look forward to staff and volunteers helping identify ways our work can be changed to advance equity and inclusion in the outdoors and environmental sectors.
Our staff is a small, friendly team, driven by a shared passion for Washington’s outdoors. We strive to be adaptive, fun, and collaborative. We are always willing to pitch in on projects outside our own portfolios, to “roll up our sleeves” to get stuff done. We hope you’ll join us!
