Become an Outreach Coordinator

Outreach coordinators help TYE grow thoughtfully: they build relationships with schools and community partners, share clear information about our programs, and make sure families know how to get involved. This role is ideal if you enjoy representing an organization in public settings and keeping communication organized.

What Outreach Coordinators Do

  • Community presence: Represent TYE at fairs, info sessions, and partner meetings with a welcoming, professional tone
  • Relationship building: Follow up with educators, hosts, and families to schedule workshops and answer common questions
  • Clear communication: Share program details, expectations, and next steps so partners feel supported
  • Logistics support: Help coordinate outreach materials, simple event setup, and RSVP or sign-in flows when needed
  • Feedback loop: Relay community questions back to the team so we can improve access and clarity

Time Commitment

  • One-time tabling or info events (typically 2–4 hours)
  • Ongoing outreach blocks (often 2–4 hours per week during busy seasons)
  • Flexible scheduling based on your availability and upcoming program dates

Requirements

  • Age 16+ (minors may participate with parent/guardian approval where applicable)
  • Comfort speaking with adults (educators, caregivers, and partner staff) in community settings
  • Reliable email communication and timely follow-up
  • Orientation provided; additional training for recurring outreach roles
