Ed Jobs at City Year

City Year, one of my favorite groups that helps SPS students, has two ed-related job openings that I thought I would pass on.

CITY YEAR: CORPORATE AND FOUNDATION DEVELOPMENT MANAGER.  We need an all-star development manager to drive City Year’s corporate and foundation development strategy – someone who is highly detail and goal oriented, has excellent writing skills, super personable and runs towards a challenge.  Job description link is here:

Thanks to all for the correction. end of update   I suspect some who read this post will be irate. Why do this?
