DESCRIPTION: The San Antonio River Foundation seeks a new team member to help us coordinate and program Confluence Park. We are a 16 year-old local non-profit that has accomplished great things for our community and our beloved San Antonio River. We would love to find a collaborative partner with a servant-leader heart to help us expand our impactful offerings to our community. Could you be our match? 

YOU ARE LOOKING FOR: An organization built upon authentic experiences, integrity, and stewardship of the world around us. Natural resources, watersheds, environmental education and outdoor recreation mean more to you than lounging next to the local swimming pool. You are looking for an organization that sees its people as the most valuable asset, a force to effect change with. 

You like the idea of giving back and being respected for the time and heart you pour into your career. Your ideal organization has a philosophy that focuses on making our world and our community a better place. You also find excitement in an organization that has a strong vision and whose mission enhances vibrant cultures, ecologies, and recreation through education and outreach.

If this seems like your type, keep reading.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR: A naturally curious person who gets along in team settings but isn’t afraid to strike out into autonomy wilderness. A person who has had success in developing and delivering programs that feel special, focused, and memorable. Someone who understands that big ideas need big logistics and if the details aren’t right, the offering won’t feel right. Someone capable, insightful, and deliverables oriented. A sense of humor and a willingness to laugh at ourselves and each other is a plus. 

Our ideal candidate will coordinate Confluence Park’s programming needs including working with our education partner the River Authority, academic institutions, our distinguished Board and committees, and partner with aligned nonprofits to continue to build our community awareness. You will have fun shepherding packs of roving volunteers, and you will look forward to converting random visitors to passionate new donor-members of the Foundation. 

Bonus Round: You get to work at an award winning, life changing park along the banks of one of the largest urban ecological restoration zones in the U.S. of A.

If you seem like our type, keep reading.

COMPENSATION: Base salary ranges from $40,000 - $45,000 (depending on experience) including benefits such as a Simple IRA program (with 3% salary matching), a health insurance stipend of $300/month, Worker’s Compensation insurance, 40 hours of personal time off, and 8 paid holidays.

When you click to apply you may notice you will be sent to our partner employment website under the San Antonio River Authority’s employment page. This may be confusing but when you click on our Park Programming Coordinator link your application will be delivered directly to us when you complete the application process.  

Only applications submitted through the online system will be considered. Please no phone inquires. Deadline October 6, 2019. Please direct any questions to Frates Seeligson, Executive Director, at (210) 224-2694 or email him to frates@sariverfound.org.
