Help Build a New Community-Based Organization From the Ground Up

An emerging community-focused nonprofit organization in Kentucky is seeking a creative and dependable volunteer to help establish its public presence and tell its story.

The organization is being developed to help individuals and families experiencing homelessness, housing instability, and life transitions move toward safe housing, stability, self-sufficiency, and a more hopeful future.

We are looking for someone who can assist us in crafting our story and public identity basedon our mission, and not just simply promoting an organization.

This is currently a volunteer, part-time opportunity. As the organization develops and funding becomes available, there may be opportunities for individuals who demonstrate strong performance, commitment, and alignment with the organization’s mission to transition into a compensated part-time or full-time position.

While future paid employment is not guaranteed, we hope to build relationships with talented individuals who may have the opportunity to grow funding, and staffing needs expand.
