Office Administrator (Contract)
The Office Administrator (OA) will serve as a key support person to ensure that MMCO can succeed. In this role the OA will primarily support the Executive Director with operational functions and the Director of Advancement with fundraising support.
The OA will manage systems, support communications, reporting and key tasks will enable other staff to focus on their responsibilities. This 20 hour per week role is an ideal opportunity for someone who wants to make a profound difference, and support those who are impacting the lives of high school and college students who come from underserved and under-resourced communities but have tremendous potential.
As an experienced professional, your primary focus will be to perform tasks that will serve as a bedrock for all other activities. To be successful, you must be highly organized, efficient, tech savvy, and an effective communicator who is energized by working with a diverse set of stakeholders and making a difference.
Volunteer Openings
Program Mentor
Mentors ground their mentees in the Minds Matter Monday night experience. Supported by volunteer program leaders who facilitate a prepared curriculum, Mentors engage in conversation and connection building while drawing from our shared goals. Mentors don’t need to be experts in the following topics – they need to be willing to show up consistently and work through the prepared activities together:
- Establish a Mentoring Relationship
- Academic and College Guidance
- Personal and Leadership Development
- College Readiness and Transition
- Attend Mentor Training and Program Events
Mentoring typically involves a commitment of approximately 8 - 10 hours per month during the academic year. Minds Matter Colorado does not host programming during the summer or whenever school is out of session (winter break, spring break, etc.). The long-term time commitment is 3 years. We’re asking students to commit to 3 years of the program, so a matching commitment of support from caring adults is what we’re looking for.
