Job Specific Working Conditions

As is true at every camp in the mission, serving at Woodleaf presents with both incredible benefits and unique challenges. Located in the Plumas National Forest, Woodleaf is a remote and rural place and our staff have the opportunity to build community while both living and serving together. Trips to town are an "event" not a daily part of life. Although you can grab a jug of milk from the local Dollar General, the closest significant city is one hour away. For those with families, this is a family venture as many of the amenities that people are often used to in larger cities are not immediately available. Education options include public, charter, private, or homeschool options but most traditional options involve a lot of driving and many at Woodleaf have opted for charter school or homeschool options. For those willing to make some unique lifestyle adjustments, living and working at Woodleaf is an amazing adventure. The weather is fantastic overall. National parks, the coast, and large cities are only a day trip away (San Francisco, Yosemite, Sacramento, Lassen, Lake Tahoe, the Redwoods, etc.).

This position is eligible for COLA.
