About The Position
YouthBuild Philadelphia Charter School is a tuition-free, public charter high school, with a singular focus on supporting youth aged 17-20 who have been pushed out of traditional schools. During our 1-year alternative program, Youthbuild facilitates a warm, loving culture that uses a variety of structures to build community, such as a restorative-justice approach to discipline, weekly community meetings, and school-wide service projects. Students are empowered to attain their high school diploma and vocational certifications, while receiving unconditional support by the staff around them. At YouthBuild, we work intentionally to disrupt the cycle of poverty and support our students to achieve post-secondary success (4-year college, 2-year college, vocational training program, or liveable wage job). The Director of Communications (DOC) will join a five-person advancement team which annually raises half of YouthBuild Philly’s revenue. The DOC will play a crucial role in shaping and promoting the YouthBuild Philly brand, elevating the School’s presence, and engaging key stakeholders including donors, decision makers, government officials, prospective students and families, and the wider Philadelphia community. The successful candidate will be comfortable working towards impact, making sure that activities align with stated KPIs and using data to inform decision making. An important part of this position is listening to student voices and connecting this lived experience to our target audiences.
