    Descrição

    Be a part of something bigger. Put your passion and talent to work helping education nonprofits thrive. At City Scholars® Foundation, we’re on a mission to do just that, as we bring corporate and community leaders together to strengthen and accelerate the impact of critical education nonprofits that collectively give each year over 56,000 low-income youth a better chance to learn and achieve against the odds.

    To expand our impact throughout Southern California and beyond, we’re looking for an organizationally gifted and proactively motivated FOUNDATION ASSISTANT to join our team. With sleeves up, hands on and a heart for helping nonprofit leaders and the children they serve succeed, our FOUNDATION ASSISTANT provides strategic program and operations support the Foundation depends upon to thrive.

    If you are a versatile, collaborative, “let’s do this” team player who (1) enjoys supporting a diverse portfolio of priorities, projects, meetings and events AND (2) would love joining forces with a small dedicated staff and a growing community of collaborative, fun-loving executive volunteers who, together as TEAM City Scholars®, make the Foundation’s mission possible, then we look forward to reviewing your application.

    WHO WE ARE:

    We are City Scholars® Foundation, a small yet growing philanthropic organization founded in 1993. We believe every child deserves a quality education regardless of their zip code or family income. In high-poverty, under-resourced communities, education nonprofits play a critical role helping youth succeed both in and out of the classroom. That’s why we’re passionately committed to helping education nonprofits thrive.

    WHAT WE DO:

    To survive and thrive, quality education nonprofits depend upon resourceful, resilient, and collaborative leaders who need more than heart to keep the lights on and the doors open. Because education counts and leadership matters, we’ve partnered since 2014 with a growing corps of executive volunteer donors, corporate and foundation partners, and other leadership donors to sponsor the City Scholars® Fellowship for Education.

    As a collaborative, tuition-free leadership and capacity building institute, our Fellowship for Education invests in and partners with a diverse community of highly-motivated nonprofit CEOs (distinguished as City Scholars® Foundation Fellows) to grow out-of-school time and school-based education nonprofits (currently 21) from survival to success to significance. Together, our Foundation Fellows and the education nonprofits they lead empower over 56,000 low-income, high-potential youth each year throughout the five-county Greater Los Angeles region to succeed in school, at work and in life. Be inspired at www.cityscholars.org.

    This part-time role offers a unique opportunity to achieve significant impact while also supporting work-life balance and professional development.
