I'm just reaching out because I’m working at an AWESOME school and there are some job openings that might peak the interest of some current and former WOC members. Colorado Rocky Mountain School is a small private boarding school in Carbondale, Colorado. CRMS is in the heart of the Rockies and is super outdoor oriented- tons of camping, climbing, skiing, mountain biking trips all year long. CRMS is looking for another Teaching Fellow (the position I currently hold). Teaching Fellows do a bit of everything- working in the dorms, assistant teaching, coaching, leading various outdoor trips. You get tons of different experience and is the perfect job for a recent grad interested in exploring teaching. CRMS is also looking to hire a new Director of Community, Engagement, and Belonging. This position would be perfect for someone interested in equity work- particularly diversifying the outdoors and making it more accessible to all. Both jobs include housing, food, good benefits, and all access ski pass to the Aspen mountains! CRMS is an awesome place and I’ve been having a blast working here. I’m more than happy to answer any questions and chat more with folks that may be interested. If you could pass this along to any former or current students that might be interested that’d be great!
