Additionally, and most importantly, our Board is the pivotal driver behind our fundraising efforts. We are always seeking strategic thinkers to join our Board and continue expanding the impact we have on the Jewish and LA communities.

Job Summary
The Community Engagement Specialist (CES) position has a key, front-facing and collaborative role in the Youth Mentoring department as part of the enrollment team. The CES is an outside-the-box thinker with excellent interpersonal skills and insight, strong initiative, and a keen ability to leverage opportunities for multiple purposes. This position coordinates the pool of inquiries from initial outreach through interview assignment. They handle inquiries for all children and volunteers and conduct pre-screenings/orientations, providing preliminary impressions of each candidate’s suitability in this first stage of the assessment process.
The CES also engages regularly with other parts of our community. They participate in volunteer and youth recruitment, help develop/publish our e-Newsletter, coordinate our non-mentoring volunteer needs and help to source in-kind donations for events/match outings. The CES also supports mentor training and parent/guardian engagement initiatives. While meeting and getting to know stakeholders, the CES listens for those who want deeper involvement in the agency and may become donors, for instance; they take note of others with connections that might yield a recruitment presentation opportunity, and still others who might donate tickets or gift cards for match outings. This highly interactive role and engagement with the community is critical to the success of this department.
