Nakkertok is looking for an enthusiastic individual to work on a part time basis between November of 2023 and March of 2024 to manage our LTS program.
While the classes are taught by member volunteers, there is a significant effort required to organize and manage the program before and during the ski season. This program has been so successful that running LTS has outgrown the capacity of our volunteer position.
This is an hourly part time position. Hours will vary throughout the season but are expected to average 15 hours per week. Hourly rate will be commensurate with experience. Classes are run on Saturday and Sunday through the season. Some weekend work will be required, although the successful candidate will not be required to be present every weekend.
To apply, send your resumé and cover letter to vicepresident@nakkertok.ca.
Overview:
Learn to Ski is the first exposure to XC Skiing and to Nakkertok for many of our members. As such, it is a vital element of our success and critical to the growth and sustainability of our club. We teach as many as 400 students, primarily under the age of 10 (with a few adult classes), in a 9 week program that runs from January to March. While the classes are taught by member volunteers, there is a significant effort required to organize and manage the program before and during the ski season. This program has been so successful that running LTS has outgrown the capacity of our volunteer position.
