Position Description

Get Outdoors Nevada (GON) is a Southern Nevada nonprofit organization celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2025–2026. Founded in 2000, GON connects Nevadans to the outdoors through stewardship, conservation, outdoor education, and community engagement. We are the official nonprofit partner for Lake Mead National Recreation Area, a champion of the Vegas Valley Rim Trail, and the organization that gives thousands of Nevada's children — especially those with limited access — their first real experience of the natural world.

We are a lean, mission-driven team of approximately eight staff members operating on a budget of just over $1 million annually. This is a hands-on organization where every team member's contribution is visible and valued.

This role also supports the delivery of nature and science based programs to a diverse range of youth and community audiences. These programs generate knowledge, increase both awareness and connection to threatened species and the Mojave Desert. This programming takes many forms (e.g. school presentation, field trip, interpretive tabling) and are almost entirely completed off-site.   

This is a part-time, seasonal, hourly position, with a minimum of 8 hours during the off-season (June–August) and a maximum of 24 hours per week during the program season (September–May).
