WriteBoston exists to center and amplify the voices of youth in the greater Boston area.
We do this in three ways: first, through our newspaper Teens in Print which is written by and for Boston teens and published quarterly, including an intensive summer journalism program; secondly, through our Writing Centers which are housed within Boston high schools and offer high quality tutoring and mentoring around academic writing, and, finally, through our professional development and coaching services helping schools, districts, and education organizations better serve youth in their development as readers, writers, and critical thinkers.
About the Position: The Communications & Development Associate position is critical to the mission of the organization by assisting the Director of Development with all aspects of WriteBoston communications, fundraising, events, and administration. WriteBoston seeks a strong communicator and organized problem-solver to join a creative, close-knit team, working closely with staff across program areas to elevate our fundraising and communications efforts.
