  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure a seamless, high-impact community experience.

What We’re Looking For

  • Current college student or recent graduate interested in philanthropy, community engagement, or nonprofit leadership.
  • Creative thinker and strong writer who can craft compelling, audience-specific messages.
  • Experience planning and executing events.
  • Strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Outlook, and Office Suite
  • Comfortable working with data and using insights to shape strategy.
  • A collaborative spirit, curiosity to learn, and enthusiasm for storytelling that inspires connection.
  • Flexibility to attend evening events as needed.

If you’re passionate about building stronger, more connected communities—and want to learn how philanthropy can make a lasting difference—we’d love to hear from you!
