Job Description

EMBRACE Outreach Coordinator

Reports to: Shantay Armstrong, Manager, EMBRACE Project

Compensation: Part-time, 20 hours a week, $20-$22/hour

Work Location: Hybrid - Onsite at Kidsave’s Culver City office

Kidsave, a nonprofit based in Culver City, CA serving older youth in foster care, is seeking Peer Mentors for adults in our Weekend Miracles Los Angeles program. These adults enter our program to be matched with older youth in foster care (ages 11-17) with the intent to mentor them, serve as long-term weekend hosts, or adopt.

Kidsave’s Weekend Miracles program, with locations in Los Angeles, Houston, and Virginia, brings older kids in foster care into the community to meet and get to know adults who are open to mentoring, hosting, or adopting them. At monthly connection events, kids and adults get to know each other over time. Kidsave’s EMBRACE Project is an initiative to improve outcomes for older marginalized youth in foster care. Our 2023 study with Gallup found that adults would be more likely to mentor or adopt a child if they had a peer to provide support.

As an Outreach Coordinator, you will conduct in-person targeted recruitment in BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and allied communities. With the supervision and guidance of the Manager of the EMBRACE Project, you will conduct in-person and digital outreach to Black and non-Black adults. You will attend and/or table at BIPOC and LGBTQ+ community events, Latino community events, and connect with faith-based organizations, sororities and fraternities. You will cultivate partnerships with organizations who have a relationship with the target audiences.

This is a 6 month contracted position with the possibility for an extension.

  • Develop and implement strategic outreach plans
  • Build and maintain relationships with community partners and stakeholders
  • Conduct in-person targeted recruitment in marginalized communities and organizations
  • Distribute culturally relevant and responsive collateral such as postcards, flyers, social media posts with representative members of the community served
  • Coordinate and manage outreach events and activities
  • Build and maintain relationships with community partners and stakeholders
  • Create and distribute outreach materials such as brochures, flyers, and newsletters

Requirements :

  • Understanding of DEIB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging) values
  • Flexibility to work evenings and weekends as needed

Skills:

  • Open-minded, warm, and thoughtful demeanor
  • Ability to succinctly and successfully get the message across to the audience
  • Experience in outreach, community engagement, or public relations
  • Comfortable with public speaking
  • Proficient with online meeting and presentation tools
