• Participate in ongoing training focused on communication, leadership, and event coordination
• Collaborate with a motivated, purpose-driven team

What We’re Looking For

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• Outgoing and confident speaking with new people
• Passion for community impact and charitable causes
• Coachable with a willingness to learn
