 How do you support the mission of your organization?
Sprockets
is Saint Paul’s out-of-school time network, and our mission is to increase the
quality, availability, equity, and effectiveness of out-of-school time learning
for all youth in Saint Paul by working collaboratively. We are a strong network
of organizations serving young people in Saint Paul, and communication is what
holds our network together. My communications role is key for getting the word
out to our partners and Saint Paul families about opportunities for young
people. I write newsletter content, share research and opportunities through
social media, and write grants to help raise awareness about the importance of after school.
My
evaluation work also helps keep our organization strong – making sure that we
are meeting the needs of our partners and continuously improving our work to do
better. I love that my work brings people and partners together around a
shared vision of supporting young people in Saint Paul!
What is great about your job?
In
my role, I get to advocate for an issue that I'm passionate about! I love
that I get to work alongside smart, driven coworkers and youth workers who
are all working to do better for Saint Paul's youth. It's really fun for me to
learn about, support, and celebrate the great work happening in the after school field here.
I
also love that I get to do a really wide variety of things in my job. Working
with a small staff team means that I always get to take on new projects and
learn new skills. I enjoy being out in the community learning
about after school programs and helping support their work. A highlight for
me is also when I get to work with young people themselves on issues that
matter to them. A wide variety of responsibilities keeps my job interesting and
engaging!
What skills and abilities are essential for being successful in
your current role?
Clear
communication and writing skills are very important in my role for Sprockets. I
write everything from newsletters to website content to grants supporting our
work. But my job duties go beyond communications! Because we have a small staff
team, it’s important for me to able to manage multiple projects and be flexible
enough to take on new challenges, and to be comfortable working collaboratively
with others but also completing projects independently.
