From program coordination to facilities management, Mount Sequoyah employs professionals across a range of departments.
Mount Sequoyah is more than a historic retreat and conference center. It's a community hub where creativity, connection and natural beauty come together. Located atop a ridge in Fayetteville, Arkansas, the Mount Sequoyah Center offers year-round programming in the arts, family engagement and recreation, while also hosting weddings, retreats and public events.
As Mount Sequoyah continues to expand its programming and impact, the organization is growing its team and inviting individuals of all ages to contribute to its legacy and future.
Originally founded as a spiritual retreat more than 100 years ago, Mount Sequoyah has evolved into a nonprofit center dedicated to enriching the cultural and community life of Northwest Arkansas. Its campus includes meeting and lodging spaces, an outdoor pool, wooded trails and event venues that serve a wide range of visitors—from summer campers to wedding guests.
The center is always finding new ways to activate its space through partnerships, programming and public events. That means there are plenty of opportunities for those interested in working in hospitality, programming, facilities and youth development.
Mount Sequoyah offers a mix of seasonal, part-time and full-time roles—making it a great place for students, early-career professionals or individuals looking for meaningful work in a community setting.

Full-Time Staff Roles
From program coordination to facilities management, Mount Sequoyah employs professionals across a range of departments. Full-time staff are empowered to design and lead new initiatives—creating opportunities for personal growth and community impact.
A Culture of Creativity and Autonomy
What sets Mount Sequoyah apart is its culture. Staff are encouraged to bring their ideas to life and contribute to the center’s evolving programming.

That kind of ownership and support is central to the employee experience at Mount Sequoyah.
The center offers a welcoming, collaborative environment where team members have the freedom to lead, learn and grow while making a real difference in the community.
