There are generally no specific times that are required for work, so team members can contribute according to their own schedule. Moreover, all work within the organization is part-time and oriented towards the summer season. Team members are free to take breaks when sought. For instance, all of our current team members take breaks during their exams.
- PlantForever team members have a strong say in how they work and what they work on, allowing them to operate in ways that maximize their skills, experience, and contribution.

- Collaborate with the VP Operations and other Operations Managers to organize tree-planting events: confirming times/order with homeowners, planning the event, executing the event, and leading volunteers
- Lead volunteers
- Collaborate with the executive team

**Job Type**: Part-time

**Salary**: $1.00 per year

Expected hours: 3 - 8 per week

Application question(s):
