Geoversity is looking for independently driven individuals to join our staff at our Science and Leadership Training Centre, Centro Mamoní, in moving our not-for-profit organization forward. There is no one particular field you will be focused on as you are expected to help our team of staff and interns with any project that, at that specific time, needs attention for us to accomplish our mission of conserving the Mamoní Valley and becoming 100% self sustainable.
You may have a college service requirement to fulfill, or you may just like to work in unique and remote settings—either way, this experience is for you.
