🏢 About Family Voices

Family Voices is a national, family-led organization that uniquely centers the voices of families of children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN) and disabilities. By promoting health equity and family partnerships in healthcare, they offer a mission-driven work environment where your contributions directly support underserved communities. Working remotely, you'll join a passionate team committed to systemic change.

About This Role

As Administrative Coordinator, you'll be the backbone of program and communications teams, handling data management, event logistics, and content support. Your work ensures families stay connected and informed, amplifying their voices in healthcare conversations. This role is impactful because you'll directly enable the organization's mission through efficient operations and culturally responsive outreach.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day might start by checking emails and updating the team's project board in Monday. You'll then run a data quality check in Salesforce, pulling contact lists for an upcoming virtual event. Afternoon tasks include drafting a social media post about a family resource, coordinating with the communications team on culturally sensitive language, and sending Zoom links for a stakeholder meeting where you'll take notes and track stipends.
