Open Positions

Temporary Program Assistant

The Program Assistant is a temporary position designed to provide additional capacity to the ACES Program Team while a member of Program Leadership is on leave. The Program Assistant will provide administrative, operational, and programmatic support to ensure the smooth delivery of programs, trainings, events, and communications. This role will work closely with the ACES Program Team to coordinate logistics, maintain program systems, support staff communication, and help create a positive experience for students and staff. This role is a hybrid role with both virtual work as well as times for in-person support throughout the weeks. This role will work closely with members of the Program Team and other ACES staff, with a designated supervisor responsible for setting priorities, providing direction, and supporting success in the role.

This Program Assistant position offers an opportunity to play an important role in the day-to-day success of our programs. You'll work across many different areas of the organization, build relationships with staff and community partners, and contribute directly to experiences and opportunities for students. No two days will look exactly the same. We're looking for someone who enjoys variety, takes pride in being organized, and wants to contribute to a collaborative team environment.
