Job Description

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, it offers hands-on experience in grassroots fundraising, cause-based campaigns, and live public outreach , where your work directly contributes to making a difference in the community.

💼 Role Overview:

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

🛠 Key Responsibilities:

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

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

  • Engage directly with the public to raise awareness and inspire action for our nonprofit clients

  • Work collaboratively with marketing staff to deliver high-quality, on-brand event experiences

  • Speak with community members to build trust, educate on social impact issues, and foster supporter relationships

  • Participate in professional development sessions and leadership training

  • Uphold compliance and represent the organization with professionalism and integrity

  • Contribute to team goals and adapt to evolving campaign needs

✅ Qualifications:

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

  • Excellent organizational and multitasking abilities

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

  • Detail-oriented with time management skills and a willingness to learn

  • Self-starter who works well independently and collaboratively

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

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

  • Availability for local travel to event sites and occasional weekend work

💡 This Role Is Not For You If:

  • You’re seeking work in wedding planning , private parties , or corporate event logistics

  • You prefer behind-the-scenes event coordination with no direct public interaction

  • You’re uncomfortable with grassroots, cause-based public outreach

💡 This Role Is Ideal For:

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

  • Volunteers, fundraisers, or outreach workers with a passion for community engagement

  • Outgoing, organized professionals excited to build purpose-driven experience

  • Anyone who wants to be part of a mission bigger than themselves

🎁 What We Offer:

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

  • Clear opportunities for advancement into team leadership and campaign management

  • A collaborative, mission-first environment where your voice and impact matter

  • 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're looking to grow your skills in community engagement and want to be part of a team making real change— not planning weddings —this is your moment.

Apply now and take the first step toward a rewarding career in nonprofit event marketing.
