POSITION SUMMARY

CRYJ seeks a motivated, community-oriented professional to serve as our first Missoula Development Coordinator (DC), a foundational role for our new Missoula office. Under the supervision of CRYJ’s Kalispell-based Development Director, the DC will be the primary "on-the-ground" presence for fundraising and community engagement efforts in Missoula.

Working alongside the established Missoula program team, the DC will implement and refine CRYJ’s Development Plan.
