Opportunities for Snoqualmie Tribal Membership & Youth
Tribal Youth Seat for the Snoqualmie Watershed Forum
This is an exciting opportunity to make a difference for salmon and the health of our rivers. The Snoqualmie Watershed Forum meets six times per year to consider new science and help fund projects that help salmon. Forum members include representatives from Snoqualmie Tribe, Tulalip Tribes, elected officials from local cities, the King Conservation District and King County, as well as five citizen members and a local non-profit.
The successful applicant will be appointed by the Snoqualmie Indian Tribe to provide the perspective of a young person (15-25 years old) who is a Tribal Member. The selected person will receive a $500 stipend for participating in six Forum meetings and attending a field trip.
If you have any questions, you can contact the Snoqualmie Tribe Environmental & Natural Resources Director, Cindy Spiry, by email at cindy@snoqualmietribe.us
To learn more about the Forum, please visit the Forum’s website or contact Elissa Ostergaard, Salmon Recovery Manager, at (206) 477-4792, or ostergaard@kingcounty.gov.

Employment for Adopt-A-Stream Foundation
Each year, in thousands of rivers and streams, the Pacific Northwest witnesses a remarkable natural phenomenon as millions of salmon return to their place of birth to spawn a future generation.
The Adopt A Stream Foundation (AASF) works to ensure that Pacific Northwest streams continue to provide healthy habitat for salmon, trout, steelhead, and other wildlife. AASF operates the Northwest Stream Center, a regional environmental center, and carries out stream and wetland restoration work.
We are looking for Tribal Members to help us advance our mission. The Snoqualmie Tribe has not yet adopted a stream through this foundation. For more info, go to www.streamkeeper/employment.org or call 425-316-8592
