Volunteer Advancement Officer
About The Position
LifeWise Academy is a released time religious instruction program that exists to reach public school students with the gospel during school hours. Under released time law, students may be released from public school during the day to receive religious instruction, provided the program is off school property, privately funded and parent-permitted.

This is a position responsible for cultivating advancement opportunities and managing a pipeline of donors. Our ideal candidate is a spiritually mature active church participant with excellent communication, leadership and interpersonal skills. This is a part-time position.
