Job Description
Summary:
The Center for Leadership & Community Engagement (CLCE) is AU’s hub for engaging with the DMV through community outreach and civic action. We are seeking an organized, self-motivated, and passionate student to assist in coordinating programs that recognize and empower students involved in Community-Based work. Primarily, this role helps coordinate the Eagle Endowment for Public & Community Service. The Eagle Endowment differs from AU’s Endowment. It’s a unique program with a rich history. Founded in the aftermath of 9/11 by students, it became the first student-led Endowment in the USA! Recently, the Eagle Endowment won a grant competition and the title of “top college philanthropic organization in the USA”. The Eagle Endowment gives AU Students/Clubs grants of up to $1,000 (along with a year of mentorship) to make a lasting difference through social action projects. Since 2002, it’s responsible for over 120 projects, many of which are still creating positive impacts years later. Projects are rooted in Community-Based Research theory and applications involve a Needs Assessment and local partnerships to ensure that projects fulfil the intended impact. With direction from CLCE and the Assistant Director of Community-Based Learning, this position will manage the Eagle Endowment, including its funds, Advisory Council, projects, visibility, and impact reports. The ideal fit is a dedicated student who wants to build their leadership skills for multiple semesters by operating, in essence, a “foundation” that cultivates innovative and impactful projects from AU students. This year, the position will focus on capacity building. This includes recruiting and leading a committed Advisory Council of students, managing a ~$10k budget, and creating the foundation for a 25-year Anniversary Event along with a Greek Life Subgrants collaboration. They will work closely with a past Eagle Endowment Coordinator and a Co-Coordinator to set the vision and learn the ropes. Ideal candidates would be in this role for at least 2 years to build continuity.

- Exceptional organizational and communication skills.
- Diligent, curious, and a quick learner.
- Experience managing a growing program with a team and budget for at least a year.

What To Expect
