About TTPC

Tongva Taraxat Paxaavxa Conservancy (TTPC) is a Tongva-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit established in 2022 and dedicated to stewarding land and uplifting culture in Tovaangar, the ancestral homelands of the Tongva people. TTPC is centered at Huhuunga in Altadena, California — the first plot of land returned to Tongva stewardship in nearly 200 years. TTPC’s work supports cultural preservation, ecological restoration, community education, youth engagement, and land-based healing. Since its founding, TTPC has hosted more than 40 community gatherings, welcomed hundreds of volunteers and participants to Huhuunga, restored Native and edible plant species using Traditional Ecological Knowledge practices, and continued building physical and cultural infrastructure for future generations. TTPC is not a Tribal authority or governmental body. It is a community-based organization guided by collaboration, mutual respect, cultural responsibility, and a long-term vision to rematriate land to California Native plants and people.

TTPC is an inclusive Tongva-led community that welcomes Native peoples from across the United States, the broader Indigenous diaspora, and neighbors and community members who engage in a spirit of mutual respect and shared care. As a community-based organization, we are guided by the principles of collaboration, collective decision-making, and community trust — and we are committed to remaining an open and accessible space for all who engage with our work in good faith. 

Impact

TTPC is at a pivotal stage in its growth, with an expanding team, evolving programs, and deepening partnerships across Southern California. We are also embarking on a multi-year site restoration and cultural campus project that will shape Huhuunga as a living place for culture, connection, and learning, and as a model of land restoration and sustainability. Place and programming are developing together in relationship with the land and community, supported by the internal systems and infrastructure we are building for long-term growth. The Program Manager will be part of bringing this vision to life. 

How You Can Contribute

Reporting to the Executive Director, the Program Manager will work closely with TTPC staff, contractors, and community members to plan, coordinate, and implement programs connected to land restoration, ecological stewardship, cultural events, youth engagement, and community partnerships, including direct supervision of Student Assistants. 

This role requires someone who is locally based in Los Angeles County and available to work in person at least two days per week, with additional availability as needed for programs, events, partner meetings, and community gatherings. Some weekends and occasional travel outside of the area may be required. In-person requirements may increase as the organization grows.
