You’ll grow fast, lead with purpose, and see your work move people to action.

Assist & Coordinate Campaigns: Partner with the Communications Manager to plan and execute social, email, and announcement pushes that keep our message bold and consistent.
Lead & Support a Crew: Help guide interns and ambassadors with upbeat check-ins, light project tracking, and a can-do culture that removes roadblocks.
Storytelling & Content Oversight: Collaborate with staff to collect stories of hope; support the Media Intern to ensure posts and graphics are high-quality and on-brand.
Community Engagement: Brainstorm creative engagement hooks; host comment threads and DMs that make supporters feel known and invited.
Strategy & Logistics: Maintain calendars, organize assets, track basic engagement metrics, and turn promising ideas into clear next steps.
Outreach: Email and call church leaders to set intros and appointments that open doors for future partnerships.

What You Bring

A natural organizer who thrives on checklists, timelines, and seeing projects through.
A clear communicator—comfortable writing posts, emails, and brief updates; confident when speaking with partners.
Detail-oriented and reliable with follow-through.
Collaborative and encouraging—someone others want on their team.
Mission-driven, excited by faith-centered service and community impact.
Tech-comfortable with Google Workspace, Zoom, and basic social tools (Canva or similar is a plus).
