Outreach Coordinator

Orthodox Christian Prison Ministry

OCPM is a national, faith-based non-profit organization. OCPM serves those who are incarcerated and their families, and provides resources, training and support to our ministry partners so that lives are transformed and God is glorified.

Position Summary

Under the direction of the Executive Director, the Outreach Coordinator is responsible for acquiring new OCPM donors, volunteers, and engaged supporters nationwide by initiating and supporting awareness and fundraising events. This role serves as one of the primary public faces of OCPM and focuses on relationship-building through extensive travel, public speaking, parish engagement, and awareness and fundraising events.

Working closely with OCPM’s Development and Church Programs teams, the Outreach Coordinator identifies new stakeholders, encourages ongoing engagement with OCPM, and ensures timely handoff and follow-up with appropriate staff.

The desired individual should be a superior communicator and quickly build rapport with people from diverse backgrounds. The Outreach Coordinator should have an energetic and proactive approach, along with strong networking and relationship-stewardship skills.

This will be a remote position. The Outreach Coordinator will primarily report to and interact with the Executive Director and other staff via email, phone, and video chat, with a heavy amount of travel expected.
