Community Impact Assistant

Where Mountain Life Meets City Living: Enjoy the rare opportunity to work at a four-season mountain recreation area while living in Boise—one of the fastest-growing, most livable cities in the U.S. With a vibrant downtown, walkable neighborhoods, and a thriving arts and food scene, Boise offers urban amenities with small-town charm, just 16 miles from the slopes.
