Project Director

Thrive Ithaca EcoVillage Education Center is the education and outreach arm of EcoVillage at Ithaca. Our mission is to inspire action for thriving people, communities, and our planet. We offer a wide variety of experiential and on-line learning opportunities to engage the broader public in some of the most important issues of our time. 

We are in an exciting and dynamic period of our development as we transition from a single Director-led organization to one with greater responsibility shared with an engaged Advisory Board. 

Thrive is a project of the Center for Transformative Action (CTA), a non-profit, tax-exempt, educational organization chartered by the Board of Regents of the State of New York. The successful applicant will be an employee of CTA. 

About this position: 

We are looking for a creative, responsible, and articulate professional who can help coordinate the multiple tasks and responsibilities of running the organization. Our ideal candidate is already familiar with and supports the mission of the EcoVillage at Ithaca, has project management or coordination experience, and is excited about being part of a small but dynamic team, including Board members, student interns and volunteers working together to effect change.
