Job Description

📍 Full-Time | Hands-On Fundraising Experience | Community Impact | Local Events & Campaigns

Are you passionate about community service and eager to build a career in nonprofit marketing and public engagement — not traditional event planning? We’re seeking a dedicated, people-focused individual to join our cause-driven outreach team as an Event Marketing Assistant .

This is not a role in wedding, banquet, or private event coordination. Instead, you’ll gain hands-on experience in grassroots fundraising , cause-based campaigns, and live public outreach — where your work directly impacts community change.

💼 Role Overview:

As an Event Marketing Assistant, you’ll support our direct fundraising team by executing in-person outreach activations across neighborhoods, retail hubs, and community centers. You’ll engage the public, represent nonprofit partners, and mobilize support for critical social causes.

🛠 Key Responsibilities:

  • Support the development and execution of community-facing marketing and fundraising campaigns

  • Assist with event setup, coordination, and breakdown at live nonprofit outreach initiatives

  • Engage directly with the public to raise awareness and inspire action

  • Collaborate with marketing staff to deliver on-brand, impactful event experiences

  • Build trust and educate community members on social impact issues

  • Participate in professional development and leadership training

  • Uphold compliance and represent the organization professionally

  • Contribute to team goals and adapt to evolving campaign needs

✅ Qualifications:

  • Strong verbal communication and a people-first, service-oriented attitude

  • Excellent organizational and multitasking skills

  • Comfortable working in fast-paced, public-facing outreach environments (not banquet halls!)

  • Detail-oriented with good time management and eagerness to learn

  • Self-starter able to work independently and collaboratively

  • Experience in customer service, sales, marketing, or fundraising a plus, but not required

  • Must be 18+ and legally authorized to work in the U.S.

  • Availability for local travel and occasional weekend shifts

💡 This Role Is Not For You If:

  • You want to work in wedding planning, private parties, or corporate event logistics

  • You prefer behind-the-scenes coordination without public interaction

  • Grassroots, cause-based public outreach isn’t your passion

💡 Ideal Candidate:

  • Recent graduates, students, or career changers exploring nonprofit marketing or public service

  • Volunteers, fundraisers, or outreach workers passionate about community impact

  • Outgoing, organized individuals excited to gain purpose-driven experience

  • Anyone looking to be part of a mission bigger than themselves

🎁 What We Offer:

  • Paid, hands-on training in nonprofit outreach, communications, and event marketing

  • Clear advancement opportunities into team leadership and campaign management

  • Collaborative, mission-first environment where your impact matters

  • Regular team-building events, mentorship, and ongoing support

  • Resume-worthy experience working with recognized national and local causes

❤️ Ready to Make a Difference?

If you want to grow your community engagement skills and be part of a team driving real social change — not planning weddings — apply today! Start your rewarding career in nonprofit event marketing now.
