  • Track event metrics: gather data on engagement, sign-ups, and overall event performance

  • Help with administrative tasks and maintain internal logs and reports

  • Shadow senior team members for campaign planning, brainstorming sessions, and post-event evaluations

  • Participate in training workshops, coaching sessions, and ongoing development programs

  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills

  • Organized, reliable, and able to manage multiple tasks

  • Flexible schedule — availability for occasional evening or weekend events

  • Outgoing, energetic, and professional demeanor

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

  • Bonus (but not required): Customer service, retail, hospitality, volunteer experience, or coursework related to marketing, communications, or nonprofit work
