Responsibilities

Own the operational backbone of affinity and alliance spaces: annual calendar, meeting schedules, room requests, supplies, budgets, and shared planning templates.
Build repeatable systems that make affinity spaces easier to lead (planning timeline, facilitation supports, leader checklists, communications rhythms, simple debrief tools).
Provide direct planning support to student and adult affinity leaders: help shape ideas into realistic plans, track tasks, and ensure follow-through.
Coordinate adult support structures for affinity spaces (advisor onboarding, consistent expectations, and practical guidance for navigating sensitive moments with discretion and care).

Run point on planning and logistics for heritage months and community observances across K–12, in collaboration with CEI Coordinators, students, affinity groups, and divisional partners.
Develop and manage an annual observances plan that includes key dates, programming arcs, communications schedule, and division-specific touchpoints.
Handle the practical work that makes programming happen: run-of-show, vendors/partners, space and tech needs, materials, volunteers, set-up, and day-of execution.
Draft and coordinate clear internal communications so people know what’s happening, what’s needed, and how to participate.
Coordinate across divisions to reduce calendar conflicts and support implementation of CEI initiatives in student life and Family engagement.

Support additional CEI initiatives as needed, including schoolwide community programming and implementation projects.
