Check back as we add jobs to this page.
If you enjoy working outdoors in a challenging environment, Shekinah may be the place for you. Most jobs at Shekinah demand a basic level of fitness (everything is uphill at Shekinah!), but you certainly don't have to be an Olympic athlete.
We are a small nonprofit, so you may be required to don a variety of hats for short periods of time.
We expect every worker at Shekinah - whether full time or part time - to treat everyone with care and respect, regardless of race, gender, orientation, or religious affiliation.
All positions, as they require work with or around children, require an up-to-date police records check.
