The Center for Amazon Community Ecology is a non-profit organization that promotes forest conservation in the Peruvian Amazon. We help native artisans develop and market innovative handicrafts in the U.S. and support better health and education in their communities. We need a responsible volunteer to help us enter our expense and income data into our accounting program or spreadsheet. If possible, we would welcome their help preparing our budget and other financial reports. We would ideally like to work with someone who has experience as bookkeeper or accountant who has used Quickbooks. We would also welcome help from someone with basic skills using Excel who has good attention to details. The volunteer would need to have access to a PC. We could provide software if needed.
The volunteer would meet periodically with the executive director to review the work, but they would do most of the work from their home on their own schedule.

Mission Statement
The mission of the Center for Amazon Community Ecology is to promote the understanding, conservation and sustainable development of human and other biological communities in the Amazon region. Our three strategies are research, community support and education. One of our main goals is to study the ecology and develop the sustainable harvest and marketing of non-timber forest products such as fruits, fibers, resins, and oils. We also work with indigenous and other forest peoples to sustain local resources and support their communities.
Description
The main strategies for achieving our goals are research, community support, and education. This will include investigating the ecology and sustainable harvest of non-timber forest products (like resins, fruits and fibers) and assisting indigenous and other forest-based communities to manage and market them to support local development and conservation. This will require reaching out to and connecting many people and communities in the Amazon and abroad. CACE is a member of the Fair Trade Federation.
