Huerfano County has a population of 6,820 between three municipalities. Huerfano County boasts great outdoor recreation access to the Spanish Peaks, Lathrop State Park, the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, and the Cuchara Mountain Park. If you are looking for an opportunity to serve in a gorgeous setting, this is the position for you! In this position you will interact with business and community members in the Sector Partnership + regional partners to disseminate information about employment and educational opportunities. You will also support the Recovery and Resiliency Plan working group as they work to address the housing shortages, stabilize the economy, provide new job opportunities, and alleviate poverty.
