Residential Stewardship Opportunities
Our cooperatively managed Oakland based urban sustainability center is looking for folks who can fill a few live-on Steward Roles here at PLACE, starting in September 2016. Stewards live on site and manage a special focus to our community education center with an 8-10 hour commitment each week. Rent is only $600 per month to allow for the volunteer time stewarding these positions.
If you are interested, please go to http://aplaceforsustainableliving.org/get-involved/ to read more about these opportunities. We welcome and encourage diversity at PLACE embracing all cultural, gender, sexual orientation, and gender identities.
Please email a letter and resume to placeforsust...@gmail.com. Please indicate the steward role you are interested in or suggest another role that you could serve.
What it is?
PLACE is a public-serving, experiential learning center showcasing and fostering sustainable living practices, regenerative design, urban homesteading, community resiliency, preparedness, social justice, artistic expression and neighborhood placemaking. Our goal is to incubate a local sustainability hub to allow people to see solutions in practice, to gain access to the knowledge and resources to empower them to take action in their own lives, neighborhoods, towns, cities and bio-regions. In addition to classes, workshops, skillshares and public events, PLACE features the Makery, a shared art space and the Fab Lab – an appropriate technology fabrication shared shop space.
