Redemptive Work is a small non-profit working with displaced, disabled, formerly incarcerated or other socially outcast persons to create sustainable living situations. We are looking for Project Managers to organize our Writing and Infrastructure Teams as we write copy for our website, social media, grant applications as well as build policies and procedures needed for growing nonprofit.
Redemptive Work is comprised of several disparate volunteer cells. We gather online in groups of two or three to teach and learn strategies that help grassroots organizations change the world. We think, write, research and pursue agencies and foundations interested in our work. Reporting to the Executive Director, the Project Manager will be working closely with these cells (we call them teams) to provide valuable leadership and task management. Teams update our website and social media pages, collaborate in virtual space, build a brand for a non-profit and pursue grant funding, and we will do so in an ethical community with others who seek a just society. While we are all effective, passionate people, we have a hard time connecting each subgroup to organize our work product efficiently. Currently, our entire organization runs on volunteer time - we need help focusing that time.
Specific tasks for this role: attend video meetings throughout the month, take minutes and keep a record of assigned tasks, follow-up with subgroups working on similar project pieces to prevent missing steps or duplicating work, keep a calendar of dates due
Helpful skills for this role: Microsoft Office, Dropbox, Google Suites (Drive, Mail, etc)

Mission Statement
Making sustainable living a reality for displaced or seemingly unemployable persons.
Description
Redemptive Work (RW) is dedicated to making sustainable living a reality for displaced and seemingly unemployable persons.
RW serves homeless, previously incarcerated, and disabled persons navigating barriers to sustainable living. Our work began when Rev. Dr. Tina Carter joined RW Executive Director Rev. Dr. Mindy Johnson-Hicks in writing The Wealth of Poverty (Outskirts Press, 2013); an exploration of the ways authentic relationships across socio-economic groups enables collective prosperity. During this collaboration, it became apparent that under-served populations of homeless, previously incarcerated and disabled people shared common barriers to finding employment, housing, and healthcare. RW incorporated in 2013 to learn to navigate those barriers. We meet with people weekly, one-on-one, to discuss goals and strategies necessary to achieve sustainability beyond societal barriers. People need adequate work, safe shelter and access to health care and we are here to ensure a community is present to help them find all three. We also help people overcome obstacles by coaching them to fill out forms for jobs or obtaining a Driver's License or Social Security Card, government benefits. We help people face the challenges that so often prevent marginalized persons from re-engaging in society in a sustainable way. We also help our clients to understand what their strengths are instigating self-advocacy in a profoundly disenfranchising system.
