The Positions

Full-Term members serving with the Squam Lakes Association experience the seasonality of conservation work in the beautiful Squam watershed, located in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire and a short drive to the White Mountain National Forest. The quiet winter is spent deep diving into projects, followed by a booming summer full of boots on the ground conservation, and closing with a picturesque autumn with time to run reports and close out the season. There are four assistant tracks candidates can apply for:

Watershed Resources Assistant (4 positions): Watershed Resources Assistants (WRA) and Water Quality Coordinator (WQC) work closely with the Director of Conservation. WRA's ensure that all conservation related projects and programs are operating efficiently under three core areas: research, monitoring, and restoration, with the goal of continued improvement of the water quality of the Squam Watershed.

Education & Outreach Assistant (2 positions): Education & Outreach Assistants (EOA) work closely with the Director of Education and Communications & Outreach Coordinator. EOA's will improve and develop curriculum for current education programming, expand programming to reach K-12 classrooms, and develop and promote outreach content.

Trails & Access (2 positions): Trails & Access Assistants (TAA) work closely with the Director of Trails & Access and the Facilities & Access Manager. TAA's will oversee components of SLA's hiking trail management, outdoor access programs, and facilities maintenance.

Volunteer Program Assistant (1 position): The Volunteer Program Assistant (VPA) will work closely with the Volunteer and Membership Manager. The VA will manage volunteers and aim to increase volunteer engagement at the SLA.
