HOW TO APPLY
Please submit a cover letter, resume, and portfolio samples to jobs@prepareandprosper.org with the subject line "Communications Coordinator." Position will be open until filled.

About your cover letter:
We're looking for someone thoughtful about their work and clear in how they communicate. Your portfolio will show us what you can create -- your cover letter should show us how you think about that work.

Write in a voice that feels genuine to you -- somewhere between conversational and professional. We're not looking for corporate jargon, but we do want to see that you're intentional about what you do and why.

In your cover letter, speak to these 2 prompts (≈1 paragraph each):

1. Why you're drawn to this work. What appeals to you about combining design, social media, and project management? What's one thing you'd want our community to feel when they encounter P+P's communications?
2. A time you managed creative + operational work. Give us an example of when you balanced creative work (designing something, creating content) with the logistics of getting it out there (scheduling, coordinating, tracking deadlines). What part energized you most?

About your portfolio samples:
Please include 3-5 examples of your work, which could include:

• Design samples (social media graphics, presentations, forms, flyers, etc.)
• Links to social media accounts you've managed
• Any other communications materials you've created

You can share links or attach PDFs. If your samples include confidential information, please change names or details to protect privacy.
