Gary Community Engagement Ambassador

Capital B•Gary, IN

2d•$18 - $18•Onsite

About The Position

We’re looking for a dynamic, outgoing person who knows and loves Gary. The Community Engagement Ambassador’s primary job is to deliver our monthly Capital B Gary print edition across the city, helping to design and maintain an efficient delivery route. But there’s more: You’ll represent Capital B Gary at community events, help grow our newsletter subscriber base, and build relationships that support our community-based journalism. You’ll be joining a hard-working, lively, and award-winning newsroom and organization. This part-time role is perfect for someone who is a natural connector — someone who loves approaching and talking to their neighbors, and is eager to connect them with information they might need. If you're uncomfortable approaching and talking to strangers, this role isn’t right for you.

Requirements

A reliable vehicle and a valid driver’s license
A deep connection and love for Gary
An outgoing personality and strong comfort level speaking with new people
Strong time-management and project-management skills
A self-starter attitude, as you’ll often be working independently
A belief in Capital B’s mission of serving Black communities with strong journalism and community care
