Assistant to Young STEAMers Officers

Are You Ready to Spark the Next Generation of Innovators?

Do you want to join a team of passionate educators, scientists, and creators who are bringing hands-on STEAM learning to kids who need it most?

You’re in luck!

We’re seeking a resourceful Assistant to the Young STEAMers Officers to help keep our growing nonprofit running smoothly and efficiently.

At Young STEAMers, we believe that every child regardless of background deserves the chance to explore, experiment, and discover the joy of science and creativity. We bring hands-on STEAM opportunities to underserved communities across the Bay Area, empowering kids to see themselves as inventors, problem-solvers, and future scientists.

If you’re an organized, proactive multitasker who thrives in a mission-driven environment and loves variety, this is the role for you!

What You’ll Do

This role combines organization, creativity, and a “get-it-done” attitude. You’ll work closely with Young STEAMers’ leadership team to keep programs, communications, and operations running smoothly.

Executive & Administrative Support

• Manage the CEO’s calendar, schedule meetings, and coordinate appointments with staff, partners, and board members.
• Handle correspondence (emails, calls, messages) and ensure timely follow-ups.
• Organize documents, maintain records, and prepare meeting materials.
• Support the preparation of board packets and meeting minutes

Communication & Relationship Management

• Serve as a professional and warm point of contact for community partners, donors, and volunteers.
• Draft and proofread correspondence, thank-you letters, and public communications on behalf of the CEO.
• Help manage social media content and assist with newsletters or updates to promote Young STEAMers’ impact.

Program & Event Coordination

• Support the planning and logistics of Young STEAMers programs, classes, and community events.
• Coordinate schedules and materials for instructors and volunteers.
• Assist with event registration, attendance tracking, and follow-up communications.

Development & Fundraising Support

• Assist with donor communications, thank-you letters, and data entry into the donor database.
• Help organize fundraising events and campaigns.
• Conduct light research on potential donors, sponsors, or grant opportunities.

Special Projects

• Assist the CEO in managing new initiatives, such as the Young STEAMers Academy or partnerships with schools and community centers.
• Track special project milestones, gather updates, and prepare summary reports.
• Identify ways to improve work systems and organizational efficiency.

Representation & Mission Support

• Act as an ambassador for Young STEAMers’ mission and values in all communications.
• Demonstrate professionalism, creativity, and teamwork in all interactions.
• Handle sensitive information with discretion and confidentiality.
• Administrative Support: Manage calendars, coordinate meetings, organize files, and assist with communications.

And like in any growing nonprofit you’ll get to wear many hats and be part of a small, dynamic team that’s making a real difference.

Who You Are

• 2–5 years of experience as an assistant, coordinator, or project manager (nonprofit or education experience is a plus).
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable juggling multiple priorities.
• Tech-savvy (Google Workspace, spreadsheets, project management tools).
• Excellent communicator- clear, professional, and positive.
• Creative problem-solver who can adapt quickly and anticipate needs.
• Passionate about education, equity, and inspiring kids through STEAM.

Why Young STEAMers?

• Growth: Be part of a small, visionary team where your ideas matter
• Flexibility: Hybrid work (remote + occasional on-site for events).
• Purpose: Every task you do contributes to a mission that changes kids’ lives.

Internship Details

• Duration: 8 weeks
• Commitment: 10–15 hours per week
