Are you Emberwood’s next
retreat assistant?

We are looking for three part-time support pals to join our retreats.

This role is an amazing opportunity to get in on the Emberwood experience in exchange for some good old fashioned elbow grease.

And the best part is, you don’t have to be a therapist, wilderness guide, or facilitator!

Maybe you're an empty-nester who loves community building. Maybe you're a nature-loving Gen Z who is interested in getting into the non-profit sphere. Whoever you are, if you are looking for some very part-time hours and can help us with the support we need — apply now!

What you’ll be doing, on the two or three retreats you join each year:
(2-3 days on retreat + roughly 8h of pre-/post-trip support)

  • prepping + cooking meals

  • set-up and tear-down of mealtimes

  • making sure the fire stays lit

  • documenting + photographing

  • pre- and post-trip shopping, cooking, cleaning, and packing
    * must be comfortable lifting items up to 50lbs

What we offer to you in return:

  • two to three weekends each year on the land at Narrow Lake

  • room and meals for your retreat weekend

  • $165 to $215 per retreat day (based on experience + skills)

  • $22.50 per hour for pre- and post-retreat work

how to apply:

To apply, email us your resume and a cover letter explaining why our next amazing retreat assistant is YOU!

Deadline March 21

Must be pro-trans, pro-choice, and pro-cake.
