    Who you are

    • Strong command of written English
    • Comfortable using Google Docs or Word track-changes
    • Reliable and detail oriented
    • Interested in outdoor topics or public safety education

    Commitment

    • Remote role
    • Flexible schedule, about 2 to 4 hours per project
    • All work can be done from home

    Why join

    • Contribute directly to public safety education for hikers and outdoor users
