The Big-Brained Superheroes Club at Yesler Community Center is seeking a volunteer external communications and development coordinator to help us with:
- external communication to local businesses, community organizations, partners, and media;
- fundraising event development and support;
- communications development including writing blog posts, newsletter and supporting social media (our current online assets include: our website, Facebook page, Twitter stream, monthly email bulletin, and Pinterest boards).
Required:
- Passion for recreational nerdiness / STE(A)M learning in low-income refugee, immigrant, minority communities.
- All the superpowers, especially Creativity, Teamwork, Leadership, Adaptability, and Persistence. The opportunities for creative experimentation in this position are infinite, but follow-through on final commitments is essential.
The BBSC meets Monday, Wednesday, Friday from 5 to 7pm and Saturday from 11am-3pm, but the external communications and development coordinator's schedule would be flexible. The time commitment required to excel in this role varies throughout the year but probably averages to around 8 hours per month.
The Big-Brained Superheroes Club is a bunch of nerds with a purpose-to tap into the hidden strengths that all young people have through Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics (STEAM). At its core, The Big-Brained Superheroes Club (The BBSC) at Yesler Community Center in Seattle is about community coming together to create. In the process of developing their own binary counter, building their own electronics learning platform, and programming their own Godzilla to attack their City of Light, Big Brains learn that their greatest power-as individuals and community members-is their ability to imagine, strive, and work together to create the world in which they want to live.

Description
A drop-in afterschool creative exploration and technical skill-building program for all ages, The BBSC meets in The BBSC lair at Yesler Community Center on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 5 to 7pm and Saturdays from 11am to 3pm. In the process of developing their own binary counter, building their own electronics learning platform, and programming their own Godzilla to attack their City of Light, Big Brains learn that their greatest power-as individuals and community members-is their ability to imagine, strive, and work together to create the world in which they want to live.
Annually, The Big-Brained Superheroes Club engages over 120 East African/Latino/Asian immigrant and refugee youth (ages two and up) living in the extremely low-income Seattle neighborhood of Yesler Terrace in drop-in afterschool creative discovery and technical skill-building. Meeting 200 times a year, The BBSC offers Big Brains over 500 STE(A)M project hours, plus adventurous learning field trips. With the skills they gain through the club, Big Brains travel to events around Seattle teaching fundamental STE(A)M concepts, such as electric circuits, binary math, and digital logic, to over 700 people a year.
