🏢 About Earth Peoples United
Earth Peoples United is a small, mission-driven nonprofit rooted in Mayan lineage and universal natural law, focusing on collective wellness, community care, and Earth wisdom. Working here means being part of a close-knit team where your contributions directly support a values-based, holistic approach to community and environmental stewardship.
About This Role
As Operations & Communications Coordinator, you will be the backbone of EPU’s daily operations, managing logistics for events and programs, ensuring brand consistency across all communications, and supporting HR and board functions. This role is impactful because you’ll enable the team to focus on their mission by keeping systems running smoothly and amplifying their message to donors and community members.
💡 A Day in the Life
Your day might start by checking emails and updating the project management board with upcoming event tasks. Mid-morning, you’ll draft a newsletter for donors while coordinating with the team on logistics for an upcoming virtual workshop. After lunch, you could assist with onboarding a new staff member, then review board meeting materials and update Google Drive files. The day ends with a quick team check-in to ensure all communications are aligned and deadlines are on track.
🚀 Application Tools
🎯 Who Earth Peoples United Is Looking For
- Has 2+ years of experience in operations, communications, or nonprofit support, preferably in a small team or community-centered environment.
- Excels at clear, compassionate written communication in English (Spanish fluency is a strong plus) and can adapt tone for donors, volunteers, and board members.
- Is highly organized and tech-savvy, with hands-on experience using Google Workspace, project management tools (e.g., Asana, Trello), and email platforms (e.g., Mailchimp, Constant Contact).
- Shares EPU’s values of collective wellness, Earth wisdom, and community care, and is comfortable working in a remote, close-knit team with a holistic, non-hierarchical approach.
📝 Tips for Applying to Earth Peoples United
In your cover letter, explicitly connect your experience to EPU’s mission of collective wellness and Earth wisdom—mention any work with indigenous communities, environmental justice, or holistic health.
Highlight your comfort with remote work and small teams; emphasize how you’ve managed multiple priorities independently in a values-driven environment.
Provide specific examples of how you’ve maintained brand consistency across email, newsletters, and donor communications—show, don’t just tell.
If you speak Spanish, mention it early and give an example of using it professionally (e.g., translating communications or supporting bilingual events).
Tailor your resume to include metrics or outcomes from past operations or communications roles, such as improved registration processes or increased newsletter open rates.
✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter
