Development & Community Engagement Coordinator

Part-Time — 21 hours per week

Position Summary

The Development & Community Engagement Coordinator leads JSABC’s grant development program and assists in growing the organization’s broader funding base and community reach. This role owns the full grant lifecycle — from prospecting and proposal writing through submission, compliance, and reporting — alongside donor recognition, fundraising campaign support, volunteer management, and strategic community partnerships.
