The Charlevoix County Community Foundation (C3F) seeks a warm, genuine, responsible person to join our team of five kind, committed, and supportive individuals.

A strong candidate will be a highly responsible and tech-savvy individual who takes pride in their close attention to detail, is self-motivated, follows through on their commitments, has strong computer and office management skills, and enjoys working with a team of caring individuals toward the common goal of strengthening our community.

Community foundations are unique to the communities they serve. Our office is located in East Jordan, a quick walk to the South Arm of Lake Charlevoix.

C3F appreciates the value of work / life balance and we enjoy a flexible, positive work culture. We’ve been known to close the office to walk to Marty’s for ice cream and celebrate birthdays and work-iversaries for each team member.

As our community changes so must our Community Foundation, so we aim to be good listeners and good partners who are responsive, nimble, and creative.

We like a spontaneous brainstorm and a good chart. While we are focused on intentional, incremental movement forward, we also like to dream big for this community we love.
