Why join us?

The COVID-19 world wide pandemic had an impact on all of us and as a small public Foundation we did not decrease our services, we increased them. Inspired by our own Open Hearts Philosophy, we accepted the challenge and did everything we could to help others by providing immediate grants through our Emergency Relief Fund and inspiring a global base of volunteers to engage in virtual and in-person volunteer experiences. 

This work inspired new work for the Foundation and we are in a period of growth. The Operations Coordinator position offers a unique opportunity for a professional to make an impact in a small organization, support a growing mission and strategic plan, learn new skills from leaders in the field, and expand their network.
