The weekly schedule will vary from a minimum of 5 hours per week up to 15 hours during busy periods, as coordinated with the President of the Board of Directors. The Community Engagement Specialist will be employed as an Independent Contractor (Tax Form 1099-NEC).

 

This is a great position for someone with excellent computer and writing skills who is based in the NH Lakes Region. Most in-person work will occur in Wolfeboro, NH and surrounding towns. We do not expect this to be the applicant’s only source of income; however, we require that the work is done in a timely fashion and attendance at some in-person meetings is mandatory.
