The ideal candidate feels a connection to the Foundation’s mission; is comfortable in a hybrid work environment with a mix of team-based and independent work; has strong communications skills; and has a desire for learning and professional growth.
Experience and Education Requirements: a background in community-based, social work, or nonprofit management is preferred; a minimum of 3 years of relevant work experience is required, preferably with involvement in communications or outreach strategy. A post-secondary degree is preferred.
