Day of Service Program Assistant

Civic and Community Engagement leads UNH students into the world to serve. Our goals are to meet community needs beyond the campus, to empower students to lead change in their communities, and to promote active citizenship in a diverse democracy.

Our vision is threefold: that UNH will attract and retain service-minded students; that UNH will serve as an asset to the surrounding communities; and that all UNH students will graduate as engaged citizens with the skills and intention to be active in strengthening their communities.

·      Marketing the program to the student body to encourage event registration

·      Working with the Social Media Program Assistant to design and implement a social media marketing campaign for the events

The position will be roughly 5-7 hours per week. The schedule is flexible around your class schedule and can vary week to week as well as be a mix of in-person and virtual work. However, you must be available to work some in-person evenings and weekends for events.

·      Involved with community service at UNH

·      Passionate about community service and volunteerism

·      Highly organized
