About Trips By Transit

Trips By Transit (TBT) is a not-for-profit organization that works to remove the barriers that prevent individuals from connecting with their communities, themselves, and the natural world. We do this primarily through leading accessible trips to local nature and wilderness spaces via public transit. We lead both community trips which are open to everyone and cost-free, and partnered trips that we run specifically for other community organizations. At TBT we believe spending time in nature has huge benefits—to one’s health, sense of wellbeing, involvement and interaction with one’s community, environmental stewardship, and much more. We also believe that nature should be accessed in the most respectful way possible, which is why we lead programming solely using public and active transit. Our adventures function as a way for participants to form personal connections in their community, learn more about local issues surrounding the environment, and learn how to access nature in a more 
 sustainable way. TBT currently has two Chapters—the primary Halifax Chapter, and a Chapter in Kingston, Ontario.

Requirements
• The applicant must have been a student (post-secondary or other) in the past year and be planning or considering returning to school in the following year
• The applicant must be interested in continuing in the position beyond August 2018 (with potentially reduced/changed hours dependent on the applicants availability as well as increased wage)
• The applicant must be passionate about the environment, building community connection, and adventure

Position Description 

The Development & Finance Director is a co-director role who, alongside the Volunteer and Program Director and Board of Directors, will direct and coordinate the day-to-day operations and development of the organization. For the first 4 months (May-August), the two co-directors will work alongside the outgoing Executive Director to transition into the role. In this time the Executive Director can work with the directors to insure they learn all necessary skills. The three Directors work with the guidance of the Board of Directors. It is also the job of the Directors to oversee the Adventure Leaders (part time, honorarium-based volunteer positions) and the videographers and photographers.

Duties
• Write grants and sponsorship requests
• Work with the Volunteer and Program Coordinator to seek-out and facilitate sponsored trips and partnerships
• Execute payroll, finances, and financial record keeping
• Work with the Board of Directors to continuously vision for the organization
• Direct new initiative implementation
• Work alongside the team to recognize gaps in programming
• Participate in and lead occasional (~once/month) adventures and programming
• Attend community events to advocate for accessible and feasible active and public transit
• Support the Trips By Transit chapters wherever necessary (financial or operational guidance) and meet (over Skype or Google Hangout) with the chapters every 2-4 months
• Upkeep and build community partnerships
• Attend and contribute to meetings of the Board of Directors every 2-4 weeks
• Attend and contribute to Adventure Planning Meetings with the Adventure Leaders every 1-3 months

Applicants who do not have experience in all of these skills will not be disqualified. We are primarily concerned with work ethic and passion and are open to teaching some of these skills in the position.
