EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES

Community Outreach Manager

Job Description and Announcement


In southwest Montana, near the headwaters of the mighty Madison River lies a unique valley inside the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Called Raynolds Pass, it cradles the fisheries below Quake Lake, near the Slide Inn, Raynolds Bridge, Three Dollar Bridge, and downstream to the West Fork of the Madison River.

Raynolds Pass is threatened by encroaching high density development to the south, north and east. Such development taps the fragile bedrock water aquifer, one source of water for the Madison River, and introduces new streams of pollution. Increased density of structures, highway traffic, noise and elimination of dark night skies will close critical wildlife migration corridors for elk, pronghorn, native birds and connectivity for endangered species such as grizzly bears and wolverine, from Yellowstone to the Yukon.

Our organization, Preserve Raynolds Pass (PRP), a Montana 501 (c)(3) was born in December 2023 out of community opposition to a large, high density, 150 space RV Park. Our ongoing charge is to protect the culture and value of the agricultural and rural, residential nature of the Raynolds Pass community, including water quality and quantity, and wildlife and wildlife habitat in the interests of public safety and welfare.

Preserve Raynolds Pass needs feet on the ground, hands on organization and communication to support this mission as well as future endeavors in Madison County, Montana.
