Seasonal Positions

Logistics Coordinator (Seasonal)

GirlVentures | Summer 2026

Love gear spreadsheets as much as backcountry meals? Thrive on organization, problem-solving, and supporting meaningful outdoor experiences for youth? GirlVentures is looking for a Logistics Coordinator to help make our summer expeditions run smoothly from start to finish.

About GirlVentures

GirlVentures is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit offering transformative outdoor courses for youth ages 11–18. Our programs build outdoor skills, environmental awareness, leadership, and social justice consciousness—empowering young people to become bold agents of change in their communities.

Our participants include cisgender girls, transgender, non-binary, and gender-diverse youth. Summer courses include camping, backpacking, rock climbing, and sea kayaking in Point Reyes National Seashore, the Redwoods, and the Sierra Nevada.

The Role

The Logistics Coordinator is a key behind-the-scenes force making our multi-day expeditions possible. Working closely with the Program Director and Program Manager, you’ll manage food systems, gear, transportation, and resupplies—both in the office and occasionally in the field.

This role is ideal for someone who is detail-oriented, adaptable, and comfortable balancing big-picture planning with hands-on work. Expect long packing days, busy weekends during course launches and finishes, and a few extended field days (including some overnight trips).

This is a seasonal, non-exempt position and is eligible for overtime under California labor law.

What You’ll Do

  • Pack, maintain, and inventory expedition gear (tents, backpacks, stoves, cookware, etc.)

  • Purchase, organize, and pack food for multi-day courses while maintaining food-handling standards

  • Manage bulk food systems and expedition menus

  • Support transportation logistics, including driving vans, trailers, and resupply trips

  • Issue and track gear loans; assist youth with proper gear fitting

  • Support course starts, graduations, and course end de-issue and cleanup

  • Conduct gear cleaning, repair, replacement, and end-of-season inventory

  • Communicate regularly with supervisors and participate in check-ins and self-evaluations

What We’re Looking For

  • Experience with (and enthusiasm for) logistics and food packing for outdoor programs

  • Age 21+ with a valid driver’s license and acceptable driving record

  • Experience driving large vehicles and trailers strongly preferred (CA Class B license a plus)

  • Familiarity with backpacking, climbing, and kayaking gear

  • Knowledge of backcountry group food systems

  • Strong organizational, time-management, and Excel (or similar) skills

  • Commitment to supporting and empowering girls and transgender and gender-diverse youth

  • Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and work outdoors in variable weather conditions (with or without reasonable accommodation)

Compensation & Schedule

  • $180–$195 per day

  • Approximately 50–60 days of work between May 13 and August 21, 2026

  • Must be available most weekends and some mornings/evenings
