  Order out of chaos.  The dynamic world of budgets is where you reign supreme. Numbers make sense to you and so does adventure. When you're not keeping the books, you're writing epic stories in the wild. Whether in a kayaks or an office, class 3's and spreadsheets alike bend to your will.  You want to give back to the world and communities that have made your adventures possible through your knowledge of nonprofit accounting practices.

Team Imo is actively looking for a certified public accountant-adventurer to help build frameworks for financial success, keep corporate books, and work with contract accountants and legal representatives to ensure Project Imo is following best-practices and is compliant with Connecticut non-stock corporation laws as we move to apply for 501c3 status. 

If Quicken AND quicksand sound like a perfect Saturday to you, throw us the rope and we'll throw you the idol.

It’s not enough that you’re a brilliant scientist, you had to go and be a champion for communicating science to the world. Then you had to go and love the natural world on us. You had us at conservation.

Our team is looking for a science communication guru with a passion for connecting youth and community justice issues into their work in relating stories of the natural world.

Project Imo is a team of many voices. We here at Imo are adventure educators, teachers, social workers, psychologists, police officers and firefighters, engineers, scientists, nonprofit pros, horticulturalists, camp directors, artists… we’ve even got some data architects running amok around here. 

We also fully embrace wondrously diverse approaches to our work. We operate under the prevailing principle that people need to, and can, live harmoniously with the natural world and each other. There are three pillars to our work: youth, communities, and nature. 

We believe that the impact of modern human society on the natural world is the single most pressing concern facing the planet today. 

The impacts of climate change seem distant when you’re having a hard time feeling safe respected in your village or suffer from systemic racism and economic disparity. It can seem difficult and daunting to make impactful steps toward reversing human-made climate change when communities can’t even seem to sit down at the table for a discussion, never mind agree on facts. Communities can be complicated and sometimes messy places. Every person engaging in dialogue that can turn into actionable results.

That takes a lot of energy and even more hope. That’s where youth come in. We here at Project Imo decided that in addition to providing a space for the adventurous natural stewards of tomorrow to build themselves, we also wanted them right there at the table for the work today. It’s their world and they have a passion for protecting it that us old folk simply can’t match. 

If helping Team Imo coordinate these messages makes you feel energized… well… drop a line and communicate that to us.
