Are you passionate about making a direct impact in the lives of vulnerable children? Do you enjoy building relationships and organizing meaningful community projects? Join the Konim Touch Foundation as a Community Relations Coordinator and help us expand our outreach to rural orphanages and improve the lives of orphans across multiple regions.

About the Role:

As a Community Relations Coordinator, you will be the bridge between Konim Touch Foundation and local orphanages.

  • Coordinate orphanage visit logistics, including identifying needed items and prepping for site activities.
  • Assist in planning and implementing special projects such as computer lab installations or facility repairs.
  • Liaise with local professionals (carpenters, electricians, masons, painters) for project support and obtain quotes.
  • Maintain accurate financial records and send documentation to the organization’s treasurer.
  • Attend monthly Konim Touch Foundation meetings (virtually or in-person when possible).
  • Commit to an average of 5 hours per week.

What We’re Looking For:

  • A proactive, reliable individual with strong communication skills.
  • Experience working with community organizations or nonprofits (a plus, but not required).
  • Organized and comfortable managing multiple relationships and tasks.
  • Willingness to travel locally and to other regions to visit orphanage sites.
  • Basic digital literacy (email, spreadsheets, file sharing).

Perks & Support:

  • Transportation reimbursement available for site visits and related duties.
  • Opportunity to directly impact under-resourced orphanages and empower children.
  • Gain hands-on nonprofit experience and leadership skills.
  • Join a passionate, mission-driven team making real change.
