Charitable Giving Assistant (Part-Time)

Support a Mission. Strengthen a Community. Make Every Detail Count.

Are you highly organized, creative, and passionate about making a difference? Do you enjoy coordinating projects, managing data, supporting events, and creating engaging communications? If so, we'd love to have you join the YMCA of the North Shore as our Part-Time Charitable Giving Assistant.

As a member of our Charitable Giving team, you'll provide essential operational, communications, data management, and event support that helps advance our fundraising efforts and strengthen our impact throughout the community. Working collaboratively with the Charitable Giving, Marketing, Finance, and local YMCA teams, you'll help ensure fundraising campaigns, donor stewardship initiatives, and special events are executed accurately, efficiently, and on schedule.

If you're someone who enjoys balancing creative projects with administrative work and takes pride in keeping projects organized from start to finish, this is a great opportunity to grow your skills while supporting a mission-driven organization.
