Position Announcement
Who We Are:
The UVU Center for Social Impact (CSI) develops compassionate community members who collaborate on strategic social impact. Our approach to this mission employs an innovative framework and programming to provide students with a range of meaningful social impact learning experiences and skills that are applicable to their personal and professional lives. To learn more about our approach, please visit https://uvu.edu/socialimpact/our-approach/index.html.

What You'll Be Doing:
The Outreach Program Director manages an exciting portfolio of responsibilities that build and strengthen relationships between the CSI and students, faculty, staff, and impact partners in three main areas:

Oversee and further develop official partnerships both on and off campus, including managing effective systems for partnership identification, recruitment, and training on university policies and social impact principles, assessment, and impact reporting; host social impact fairs, partner network meetings, service-learning classroom presentations; manage and promote the CSI and impact partner opportunity database; provide service-learning faculty with partnership and project support;
Work with the Community Building (Outreach, Resources, and Marketing) Fellows (student leaders on full-tuition waivers) to coordinate tabling, events, and peer advisement sessions, and to develop and manage the CSI lobby, library, and incubator resources; hosting an open house and a week-long promotion event each semester; supervising the management of impact associates who market for the CSI via tabling on a weekly basis; connecting to student government and involvement groups; developing and supervising a system of peer advisement; managing the student lounge; coordinating the social impact library, and overseeing the Impact Incubators (designated spaces for research, brainstorm, innovation, and design).
Work with Impact Associates (student employees who support the work of the CSI) to create and execute impactful, educational, safe, and fun Alternative Break trips for students (trips that happen over weekends or official school breaks), including an on-campus experience during spring break, and pre- and post-trainings and reflections. This includes identifying the various locations, social issues, and pathways that will be explored on each trip; creating trip itineraries to provide a full experience to students; developing a learning curriculum and reflection questions to be used on the trip; recruiting student participants, staff/faculty advisors, and community partners; making all logistic arrangements; training and preparing all participants; and assessing and reporting on trip outcomes.

Why You Should Join Our Team:
We firmly believe that diverse perspectives and passions and equity-centered internal policy are critical to making a lasting social impact and fostering belonging, and that applies to building our CSI team. In our office and work, we seek to create a space where you feel confident to bring (and celebrate!) your whole self. Our work style is collaborative, innovative, safe, encouraging, and growth-oriented. We are deep, critical thinkers who have amazing staff book discussions and who also love to dive into current events and pop culture conversations.

Our team is committed to work in alignment with our stated approach to social impact (https://www.uvu.edu/socialimpact/our-approach/index.html). We encourage you to read through this approach, especially our values, as we hold ourselves accountable to them as practitioners and educators in this field. We are also committed to continual improvement as individuals and as a team, as we learn from each other and all those we encounter in our work.

Additional Opportunities for Your Professional Development:
We are committed to providing a dynamic and supportive space for you to contribute your passion and expertise to our innovative (and award-winning!) approach to this field. As we continue to strengthen our strategy and programs, we look forward to having future opportunities to co-author published research on this approach. We invest in the professional development of our team by designating resources for you to attend-and often present-at professional and academic conferences. And finally, we seek out opportunities for you to network across campus and contribute your important perspective by serving on meaningful campus committees.
