Our Office/Program Unicorn
We’re a small but mighty nonprofit, and we’re looking for a unicorn to join our team. In our organization, everyone wears many hats—and that’s what makes the work so rewarding. No two days look the same, making this role perfect for someone who thrives on variety, enjoys a challenge, and loves seeing the immediate impact of their work on the whole team.

The next, you could be creating social media content or supporting a children’s day camp. Flexibility and a positive attitude are key. If you’re the kind of person who jumps in to help—whether the task is big, small, or unexpected—you’ll fit right in here.
