Development Marketing Coordinator
Friends of the Children, Vancouver, Washington, United States, 98662
Development & Marketing Coordinator
Launched as a chapter in 2020, our mission is to impact generational change by empowering youth who are facing the greatest obstacles through relationships with professional mentors-12+ years, no matter what. Unlike other programs, we exclusively focus on children who are also facing many systemic obstacles for whom short-term solutions and single-programmatic solutions will not work. Throughout the 12+ years in the program, our team supports youth to set and accomplish academic and developmental goals, while consistently supporting each of them through the unique challenges they face. Over the long-term, our goals ensure that youth graduate from high school ready for post-secondary education, employment, or military service, steer clear of the juvenile justice system, set positive life goals, and adopt healthy lifestyles. Ultimately, our trauma-informed approach supports youth to develop skills for self-sufficiency, breaking the cycle of generational poverty, so they will thrive as mentally and physically healthy, empowered members of society.
