SOCIAL MEDIA AND COMMUNICATIONS FELLOW, GOLDHIRSH FOUNDATION/LA2050

Our mission at the Goldhirsh Foundation is to identify the brightest emerging talent from this diverse metropolis and beyond and plug them into the tools to best support their success. We fund social innovation efforts across these three areas: opportunity, sustainability, and activation, with a particular focus on Los Angeles County. Our annual My LA2050 Grants Challenge has received more than 2,500 ideas from local organizations for how to make Los Angeles a better place.

Fellowships are paid positions. Fellows should be able to commit at least 15 to 20 hours over the course of 3 to 4 days per week. The position begins now and is designed to run for 12 months, but for the right candidate, the term can be negotiated. (Including beginning in early January 2023.)

The position is currently remote. As public health best practices evolve, this may change. A candidate who is based in the Los Angeles area is preferable, but not mandatory.

The Goldhirsh Foundation is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to building a diverse, equitable, and inclusive staff team. We strongly encourage applicants who are people of color, LGBTQ, women, people with disabilities; and/or formerly incarcerated people.
