Opportunities to Join our Team

We’re looking to build the best team in the country, a staff worthy of our courageous, brilliant students.

We are all part of a values-driven organization where we strive to embody our values while living in an imperfect human-centric community. If you feel called to work in a tight-knit community rather than work a 9-5, please check out the open positions.

All positions at Eagle Rock require experience working with, and loving commitment to, diverse populations, including students and families from diverse racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds, LGBTQ+ students and families, and students and families from low-income backgrounds.
