Project Overview
EQuip Our Kids! has launched a project to recruit middle school, high school, and recent HS grads who have experienced and are well versed in the curriculum known as social-emotional learning - which is basically emotional intelligence and other life skills that make an enormous difference in students school and life success and play a healthy transformative role in society's healing from many of its social ills.
We seek a project manager who can coordinate and track the efforts of both team members and other volunteers in their efforts to recruit students who will recruit, mentor and guide other students. Your core skills must be leadership-oriented, ability to systemize the process for everyone's benefit, and ideally a good deal of creativity as we explore this new dimension of creating student message partners and even student SEL clubs.EQuip Our Kids! Campaign serves as a pro bono advertising, marketing, public relations, and sponsor acquisition organization for the larger Social Emotional Learning movement of many thousands of educators. We specifically support 23 grassroots SEL organizations comprised largely of educators in their quest to get public awareness and support for SEL.
You will be helping all these organizations through advocacy work to galvanize the American public to include in every school's daily curriculum education in a range of crucial life skills that include emotional management, relationships, and co-creativity social skills – to the evidence-based profound benefit of children, teens, adults, the schools themselves, and society and business (the economy) as a whole. Please visit our website https://equipourkids.org to learn more about our campaign and to understand our vision, our goals, and our methods.
You will be guided by experienced senior project managers who overview several projects at once as well as work with a team of highly successful media and marketing leaders. Our style is to give great support to our volunteers - we have had well more than 100 from Taproot over the last five years- as well as create an atmosphere of collaboration and fun.
