How to Apply for KAP 2026-2027 - Content and Communications Coordinator - Children’s Scholarship Fund

at Standtogether

🏢 About Standtogether

Stand Together is a philanthropic community that partners with organizations like Children’s Scholarship Fund (CSF) to empower individuals and break down barriers to opportunity. CSF specifically focuses on providing K-12 scholarships to low-income families, giving children access to quality education. Working here means contributing to a mission-driven team that values storytelling as a tool for social change.

About This Role

As a Content and Communications Coordinator, you’ll be the voice of CSF’s impact, crafting compelling narratives about students and families to inspire donors and advocates. This role is key to amplifying CSF’s mission through digital media, social analytics, and event support, making it perfect for someone who wants to use their writing skills to drive educational equity.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day might start by reviewing social media analytics to see which posts performed best, then drafting a story about a CSF alum for the website. After a virtual team check-in, you’d coordinate with the events team on promotional materials for an upcoming fundraiser, and end the day by scheduling next week’s social media content.
