• Gather and write stories that communicate the mission’s impact while protecting the dignity and privacy of the families we serve.
• Manage social media, including content creation, scheduling, publishing and audience engagement.
• Create newsletters, fundraising emails, brochures, invitations, presentations and other branded materials.
• Keep website content and the monthly New Life Dashboard current.
• Coordinate event promotion, media opportunities and outside production vendors.
• Track communication and campaign results and recommend improvements.

What you’ll bring

• Excellent writing, editing and storytelling skills.
• Strong organization and project management skills, with the ability to coordinate multiple deadlines and follow through.
• Experience creating and publishing social media content, including graphics and short videos.
• Ability to design clear, attractive materials using Canva or comparable tools.
• Familiarity with email marketing platforms, Microsoft Office and WordPress or similar website tools.
• Ability to collaborate across departments and handle sensitive information with care.
• Commitment to New Life Mission’s Christ-centered mission and values.
