Administrative Coordinator (Part-Time), Fiesta Schoolyards

Posted by Fiesta Schoolyards on June 6, 2023

Fiesta Schoolyards is a project of the Lindy Foundation, a nonprofit organization. Its purpose is to transform under-resources inner-city schoolyards with fun, colorful environments that engage the hearts and minds of the school children, with a low-cost, quick and scalable methodology.

The Assistant Project Director will help Fiesta Schoolyards build its local capacity to transform and enrich the play opportunities for Philadelphia school children and the local community in 100 schools (at a rate of 10 schools per year) by assisting the Executive Director and Founder.  The Assistant Projector Director role includes preparation and initial work prior to the project start; attending weekly site visits/inspections and troubleshooting; dedication even planning and coordination; expanding our social media presence through Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and writing a monthly newsletter; communication with the School District, and assisting with grant writing and sponsorship outreach and administrative tasks to successfully achieve our goal of 10 school per year.  The Assistant Direct will help Fiesta Schoolyard build national capacity by documenting this process and updating an online manual for other schools and cities to use as a roadmap. This is a part-time position,  which is largely remote but does require one day a week in office in Jenkintown and site visits to the playgrounds in Philadelphia.
