• Coordinate logistics for events and donor meetings: RSVPs, signage, registration, materials, cost tracking, and follow-up
• Serve as a liaison between student ambassadors and the Development Director for tours and events
• Draft web updates related to fundraising and school impact
• Support grassroots giving campaigns, donor engagement efforts, and other initiatives as assigned

What Success Looks Like

• 1–3 years of experience in fundraising, communications, or nonprofit operations preferred
• Exceptional organization, time management, and follow-through
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Strong attention to detail and a high bar for accuracy
• Tech-savvy with proficiency in Microsoft Office and comfort learning new platforms
• Experience with Raiser's Edge and Mailchimp a plus
• A sense of humor, positive attitude, and deep respect for young people
