administrative associate

This is a year-round, in-person position with the opportunity to become nearly full-time during summer (June–August) 2023. The all-important admin associate is responsible for a variety of tasks in support of our mission to empower girls through music education, the creative arts, community, and positive mentorship. These tasks touch on every facet of the organization: operations, programs, development, events, marketing + PR, social media, and more. Collaborative “team players” to the front, please! Just about everything we do gets done as a supportive team trying tirelessly to change the world, and the admin associate is undeniably part of that.

BIPOC women + gender-expansive humans strongly encouraged to apply.

SCHEDULE
