Status: Part time, non-exempt 

Salary:  $24,800 annually or $31.79/hr for approximately 15 hours a week

Position Overview 

The Advocate and Outreach Coordinator oversees CSN’s volunteer advocates and CSN’s Facebook and Instagram accounts, cultivating CSN’s connection to community through both volunteers and social media. This role links Community Safety Network volunteer advocates with opportunities to support survivors and work within the greater community to end domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking.  The Advocate and Outreach Coordinator facilitates an active relationship between the volunteer and the organization through an individualized approach, including streamlined communication methods, personalized goal setting and regular opportunities for skill building and engagement. The Advocate and Outreach Coordinator reports to and works collaboratively with the Director of Education and Outreach.  This is a part-time, half remote, at-large position with 50-60 hours of work per month, with some weeks reflecting a lower workload and some weeks reflecting higher; for example, weeks when planning large advocate events might involve longer hours.
