Event Coordinator

Originally founded in 1991 as Harlem RBI, DREAM has grown to annually serve more than 2,500 youth across East Harlem and the South Bronx through a network of six PreK-12, extended-day, extended-year DREAM Charter Schools and community sports-based youth development programs. Through our commitment to rigorous academics, social-emotional learning, deep family and community engagement, and health and wellness, we create lifelong learners who are equipped to fulfill their vision of success in and out of the classroom. We dream big, as well, with an aggressive five-year plan to expand to serve 3,500 students across seven schools—growing our organization’s impact and leveling the playing field for all children.

Reporting to the Director of Advancement Operations, the Special Events Coordinator will be responsible for supporting in driving forward DREAM’s fundraising and select internal events, coordinating with key stakeholders, partnering with the Special Events Manager on the strategy and execution for fundraising and community events, and supporting engagement. This person will also understand the integral role of fundraising events and campaigns, technology, and data management in supporting event goals.  This presents a unique opportunity for an adaptive problem solver with a project management mindset, strong logistics executor, and skilled relationship builder to develop connections and partnerships across teams within DREAM and externally with vendors as we evolve and grow our fundraising efforts as a whole.  DREAM's VACCINATION POLICY DREAM requires vaccination against COVID-19 for all employees, including a booster dose. Part-time staff hired for the summer season only, are exempt from the booster dose, however they must have received a 2-dose series or a single-dose COVID-19 vaccine.  Reasonable Accommodations based on a qualifying disability or sincerely held religious belief are being considered in accordance with applicable law. OUR COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION   At DREAM, diversity, equity, and inclusion are a matter of mission.  From our schools to our playing fields, DREAM is committed to building a team where each individual can bring their full identity and experience to work because representation matters—it enriches our team culture, enhances our ability to innovate, and strengthens our impact in and out of the classroom. DREAM engages staff that represent and appreciate the diversity of our majority Black and Hispanic student body, while working to ensure that our practices are equitable, welcoming, and productive. We are dedicated to creating a world where youth, especially youth of color, have permission to dream—along with the tools and opportunities to make their dreams reality.  Come dream with us.
