Job/Project Overview

As Sojourn House prepares to fully open phase 2 which includes transitional housing, assistance is needed in program planning and evaluation. This includes a “fresh eyes” approach to programming already in place as well as creativity for new programming and outcomes measurements. During the year there will be fundraising that will include an annual Gala, silent auction, and new fundraising activities. Marketing to local media, planning a grand opening/ribbon cutting, and social media marketing are all areas of work for this project as well. The Board of Directors mostly meets in the evenings and virtually. This project would be mostly virtual, but there will be work that is needed on-site as the facility fully opens.
