POSITION: LIFT Coach (Practicum + Internship Opportunity)
REPORTS TO: Program Manager, Coaching
TERMS OF ENGAGEMENT: 16-24 hours/week, full year
WHAT IS LIFT?
LIFT is a national nonprofit on a mission to invest in families to break the cycle of poverty. We believe 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, 2) partnering with health care, postsecondary education, early child development, and government organizations to deliver LIFT's model and influence change in those systems, and 3) influencing policy through the amplification of the voices of parents living in poverty on issues impacting their lives and communities. 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 diversity, equity, excellence, hope, and relationships.
