The City of Portland’s Urban Tree Canopy Program is looking for energetic and outgoing individuals to join our motivated team. We use innovative ways to grow and document Portland’s urban forest and to educate citizens about the importance of planting and stewarding trees. Outreach staff are the public face of our effort, providing extensive face-to-face and telephone contact with residents as we offer them new tree-planting opportunities.

This announcement will be used to fill up to 8 part-time, summer Community Service Aide II positions.

Work will begin in early June and will continue into September, with a possibility of a few outreach staff staying on until the end of the year. The work schedule will generally be Tuesdays to Saturdays, mid-afternoons to early evenings, with occasional Sunday and morning shifts; for an average of 25 hours per week.
