This is a cry for help.
Child & Family Connections, a passionate, compassionate, entrepreneurial nonprofit dedicated to helping families living with mental illness is in need of a web design hero to save us from the uninspiring, the aesthetically unpleasing, and the neglected.
We have a number of projects that need attention: overhauling the design aspects of our website, creating letterhead and business collateral, and other ad hoc projects that come. So, this hero can work from home, make his or her own hours, and have a large degree of flexibility while helping CFC achieve our goals.
Our hero:
- Is a professional designer (sorry, no Robins please)
- Is reliable and trustworthy
- Has a fantastic eye for design and communication
- Well-versed in Photoshop, Wordpress, PowerPoint
- Loves fonts
- Has 3-4 hours (on average) per week
- Can respond to small requests in a timely manner
- Has a compassionate heart and wants to make a difference in the lives of families living with mental illness
If your skills are as cool as Batman- or Batgirl-esque, and you're faster than the Flash (or Wonderwoman) and you always wanted to be a hero, this is your golden opportunity.
Email us. Or fly on over. You'll be legendary!
At Child & Family Connections, we believe that everyone thrives when the work is important, challenging, rewarding, and fun. So our volunteers are treated like staff, given the same level of responsibility (and accountability) and access to leadership and organizational information as part of our team. Our staff all work virtually, usually from the comfort of home or anywhere else conducive to doing great work. This allow us to dedicate nearly all of our funding to direct service programs, helping families at risk. The ability (and interest) in working independently is required. For the most part, you can make your own hours. Not a morning person? No problem! Prefer working from the comfort of your home or from your favorite coffee shop? You decide!
If this sounds like your type of opportunity and you'd like to help families in need, we'd love to hear from you. Please send your resume or CV and a link to your portfolio and tell us a little about yourself.
We're looking forward to doing great things together!

Mission Statement
Child & Family Connections improves the lives of families living with parental mental illness in meaningful ways--through education, advocacy, and support.
Description
When 9-year-old Charlotte asked to meet other kids who have a parent with a mental health condition, it was a milestone in a journey that began a decade earlier with her father’s institutionalization, destitution, and near-death from his bipolar disorder.
Inspired by her request, they co-founded Child & Family Connections, Inc. (CFC), the nation’s first nonprofit that exclusively supports families living with parental mental illness by empowering them to handle adversity and build resiliency.
We are privileged to be a part of the process of helping families heal as Charlotte’s request continues to transform lives.
