The Center for Amazon Community Ecology is a non-profit organization that promotes forest conservation in the Peruvian Amazon. We help native artisans (mostly women) 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. Other tasks could include updating records of our craft inventory. Attention to detail is an essential qualification. Experience using Excel and/or Quickbooks would be valuable assets, but are not required. After training, most work could be done at the volunteer's home on their computer so the hours are totally flexible. The executive director would review their work on a regular basis.

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.
