PFP is Hiring!

Philadelphia Family Pride is a non-profit membership organization for LGBTQ+ led families in the greater Philadelphia region. The group is run by a 16 person volunteer board and one part-time paid staff person, the Executive Director (ED). PFP is looking to hire a second, part-time staff person, an Assistant Director (AD), to work with the ED to fulfill the mission of the organization.

This person will work closely with the Executive Director to meet or exceed the organization’s goals in the following areas:

• Event Planning, both in-person and virtual events for LGBTQ-led families;
• Promotion through managing our social media weekly, sending out emails twice a month to our 1,900 person list, and updating our websites as needed;
  
• Fundraising including membership renewals and newsletter sponsors;
• Promote the PA Quitline as part of our smoking cessation work;
• Help plan the annual conference especially August-October; and
• Other PFP-related duties as assigned.
  
  

The AD will be expected to attend all of the organization’s board meetings (8-10 a year) as well as all major events organized by PFP, and Philly-area Pride celebrations. Working with the ED, the AD will work to attend many of the group’s smaller events, approximately once a month.

The ideal candidate is one who:

• Has a personal interest and passion for working with LGBTQ+-led families;
• Lives in or near Philadelphia;
• Can work independently and has time in their schedule for PFP;
• Has some experience in organizing people or events;
• Is eager to learn and take on more responsibility; and
• Can start right away and make a longer term (3-5 year) commitment to the organization.
  
  

The position is part-time with the AD expected to work an average of 20 hours per month for the year. Some months will be busier than others, especially June for Pride month, and September/October in the lead up to our annual conference.

The starting pay is $600/month, with the expectation that the pay and hours will slowly increase over the next six months to a year to 30 hours and at least $900/month.

The staffer would work as an independent contractor and be responsible for paying their own local, state and federal taxes.

The AD will work remotely and be expected to provide their own computer and Internet connection.

PFP is an inclusive community for LGBTQ+ prospective parents and families to engage in social events, education and advocacy. We strive to create a fun, reflective and supportive environment where our diverse identities are valued and nurtured while working to promote a more just world.

If interested, please apply here by October 23rd. Thank you!
