Outreach and Programs Manager, Global Citizen
Posted on: October 2, 2013

Job description
The Outreach and Programs Manager will manage a portfolio of initiatives that engage volunteers, nonprofit organizations, and other community partners in service and other civic engagement activities, including Greater Philadelphia Martin Luther King Day of Service community projects; One King Day, One King Book literacy program; monthly MLK365 volunteer events, MLK365 Service Clubs, and others. The person in this role will also handle Global Citizen online communications, including our websites, e-newsletter and social media platforms.

Here’s who we’re looking for:

• You’re deeply committed to community service, social justice, and civil rights. You appreciate perspectives and experiences that differ from your own.
• You’re excited about working with a variety of community partners, and flexible enough to build relationships with partners who have very different work styles: large, established nonprofits; grassroots community organizations; government agencies; and individual volunteers, among others.
• You’re the type of person who thrives on taking care of things the right way the first time. A task comes in and you figure out how to get it done in a way that is efficient. When you say “I’ll take care of it” we know it’ll be done well. When you don’t know the answer, you aren’t afraid to ask your colleagues. You enjoy and are equally skilled in collaboration and independent work.
• You have 1 – 3 years of experience in nonprofit or community-based programming. You’ve managed events and volunteers.
• You communicate clearly and effectively through- in meetings, by phone and email, speaking to groups, one-on-one, Facebook and Twitter.
• You are very comfortable with standard office software, Google products (Gmail, Google calendar, Google Docs) and internet research. You are familiar with WordPress content management/blog software and know a little html (or you can learn the basics quickly).
