ABOUT OUR ORGANIZATION
LIFT believes that racial and gender wealth gaps stem from structural inequities that keep them trapped in a cycle where poverty, like wealth, is passed from generation to generation. At LIFT, we interrupt the generational transmission of poverty by partnering with parents of young children to build well-being, financial strength, and social connections - or as we like to put it, Hope, Money, and Love. LIFT's one-on-one coaching program empowers parents to set and achieve goals that put families on the path toward economic mobility - such as going back to school, improving credit, eliminating debt, or securing a living wage. In addition to coaching, LIFT parents also receive direct cash infusions to reinvest in their families and goals.
LIFT is at an exciting moment in its organizational trajectory. We aim to scale our impact by 1) making continuous improvements to our direct service model (Direct Service), 2) continuing to partner with health care, post-secondary education, early child development, and government organizations to deliver LIFT's model and influence change in those systems (Technical Assistance), and 3) amplify the voices of parents living in poverty to influence policy issues impacting their lives and communities (Policy & Advocacy).
We are looking for team players who thrive in a growth environment of continuous improvement; are committed to LIFT's work to combat intergenerational poverty and expand opportunity for families; and uphold LIFT's values of brilliance, learning, relationships, social justice, and thriving environments.
- LIFT has a hybrid schedule, and this role will be expected to work in the office as needed, at least twice a week.
