    Description

    The Neighborhood Bridge (TNB), a not-for-profit providing services to families in five schools located in the Austin neighborhood, is seeking a volunteer to Chair its Communications Committee.

    The Communications Chair provides strategic oversight and coordination of all communications for TNB. This role ensures that TNB’s messaging is clear, consistent, and aligned with organizational goals, while supporting fundraising, program visibility, and community engagement. The Communications Chair supervises the work of Communications Committee members managing email communications, website content, social media, and external messaging.
