Alder Creek Community Forest (ACCF) offers two consultant (independent contractor) positions for 2026, in order to establish a successful foundation for our new, collaborative initiative in fire resilience education and workforce development in southern Douglas County, Oregon.

See bit.ly/accf2026 for full position and initiative details. 

One consultant position targets capacity building to build and better connect ACCF with the community and participating partners; the other targets fire resilience education to pilot educational programming to the community, K-12 students, and workforce trainees. 

Each position offers $5000 to develop, implement, and assess related events during calendar year 2026, following a payment schedule to be mutually agreed on by the consultant and ACCF board.

We hope to offer one successful consultant a staff (executive director) position following 2026, for which funding will need to be secured. There is thus the potential for a longer-term professional association with ACCF.
