A sustainable coastal farm for nearly sixty years, Wolfe’s Neck is home to an oceanfront campground, leading demonstration farm, and educational resource center for innovative practices in regenerative agriculture.
We run a host of educational programs for our annual visitors and local community.
The Farm Camps Manager reports to the Senior Director of Programs and provides regular program updates and seasonal reports. The Farm Camps Manager’s responsibilities include overseeing program budgets, coordinating program logistics, ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations, helping set and achieve registration goals, connecting with existing partners and new audiences, supporting communications and marketing, meeting grant-funded goals, overseeing data collection and record keeping, performing seasonal program evaluation and reporting, and working with all staff and programs to maximize synergistic possibilities.
While we’re looking for someone who will willingly jump in to lead programs when needed, the Farm Camps Manager primarily supervises seasonal educators and cultivates engaging, passionate, and stellar seasonal staff. This includes hiring fantastic people, effectively providing a solid foundation in program content and pedagogy, and nourishing a commitment to our mission and farm-based education. Being attuned to morale, facilitating professional development, and effectively supporting and energizing seasonal staff is a core responsibility of the Farm Camps Manager.
Overall, we’re looking for a collaborative leader and talented educator to inspire, support, and empower dozens of seasonal and year-round staff. We hope to work with a motivated self-starter who is excited to contribute to our growth and mission. A good candidate for this position has the creativity and enthusiasm to envision possibilities and, then, turn good ideas into reality.
