The Donor Relations and Community Engagement Team supports the Executive Director in cultivating relationships with donors, community partners, and prospective supporters. The role suits someone who enjoys meeting people and representing the organization, and it runs about five hours a week with flexibility for community events and occasional meetings.
Why It Matters
