FolkSoul Farm is a community-supported farm and holistic education center located on a beautiful farm in Ashland, Oregon. FolkSoul Farm is currently seeking an afternoon Handwork Teacher for grades First- Fifth for the 2022-2023 school year.

Our ideal candidate will be open to innovative curriculum and pedagogy, embrace a growth mindset, be receptive to feedback, and enjoy working collaboratively with other faculty and administrators to create an educational environment that is aligned with the school’s mission and program goals.

FolkSoul Farm strives to serve as a model for social and ecological renewal and educational excellence, seeking to act in increasingly creative, collaborative and intentional ways while integrating a diverse community of children, families, and mentors. We are an independent 501c3 non profit homeschool cooperative functioning as an outdoor Waldorf farm school. Currently, all of our lead teachers hold their Waldorf certification or equivalent. Our independent status frees us from certain government mandates currently being imposed upon schools. While health and safety are top priority, we hold freedom, and what best serves the students and community as a whole in high regard.

The town of Ashland Oregon offers four delightful seasons, proximity to both wilderness and major cities, while also having a comfortable small-town feeling. Because of our popularity as a summer-time destination, Ashland offers many world class cultural events, including the Shakespeare Festival. We have a thriving music and theater life, restaurants, shops and community events. Our amazing local “three rivers” water system offers rafting, kayaking, and swimming for water enthusiasts, and the meeting of the Cascade and Siskiyou Mountains offers numerous spectacular hiking opportunities, including access to many high peaks and the Pacific Crest Trail. We are approximately two hours from the Oregon and California coasts, the redwoods, Mt. Shasta, and Crater Lake, and four hours from the dynamic metropolitan area of Portland.

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply. Please send a resume, cover letter, and at least 2 references to folksoulinfo@gmail.com .
