Communications & Marketing Coordinator
PTO | Direct Primary Care | Professional development assistance
Every life transformed, every meal shared with those in need, every dollar contributed to uplifting others, and every act of generosity creates a powerful ripple of change. At Lafayette Urban Ministry, these moments are part of a bigger story, and we need someone to tell it. We’re hiring a Communications & Marketing Coordinator to be our lead storyteller and brand champion. In this role, you won’t just write posts or design flyers—you’ll transform the heart of our programs and fundraising campaigns into compelling digital and print content that moves people from awareness to action. Your words and creativity will drive donor engagement, inspire volunteer recruitment, and deepen community awareness across all our programs. If you’re a gifted communicator with a heart for mission-driven work, we would love to hear from you. Help us share the impact, grow our community, and write the next chapter of LUM’s story.
