Each year, we hire about 350 seasonal staff to help run Omega’s Rhinebeck, New York, campus programs. Omega determines the best position for each applicant, based on departmental needs as well as your experience and interests.  A requirement for all positions is the desire to be of help to others, coupled with a friendly, relational approach to your interactions.

Each year, in addition to our other seasonal staff positions, Omega has specialty job openings that require more experience, including full-time and part-time cooks, lifeguards, resident faculty, visiting faculty, artists-in-residence, and Wellness Center providers. These are full-season positions, starting in April or May and ending in October, and their compensation packages differ from other seasonal staff positions.

The work you perform at Omega is an integral part of our organization. Every interaction you have with coworkers, participants, and teachers helps shape our learning community. You fulfill your job commitment to us by providing excellent service in each interaction. In turn, we fulfill our commitment to you through our extensive staff curriculum, three healthy, vegetarian meals every day, the use of all campus amenities, and other rewarding benefits.

Your Commitment to Us

One of the great benefits of being at Omega is the opportunity to experience the multidimensional programs that are offered to both seasonal staff and core staff. Throughout the season, Omega offers a diverse selection of staff programs—classes, gatherings, and special events—designed to help staff learn new skills, find inspiration and meaning, and build a sense of community. Most of these classes are open to all staff, although some may need special permission.
