Careers

The Advancement Manager plays a vital role in advancing the mission of Friends of the Children Coachella Valley by cultivating meaningful relationships with donors, partners, volunteers, staff, and community stakeholders throughout the Coachella Valley. Guided by the Friends of the Children values, this role supports fundraising and engagement efforts centered on long-term youth mentoring, while fostering a long-term community investment. The Advancement Manager serves as a local champion for Friends of the Children, helping to change the way the Coachella Valley supports and views our most vulnerable youth, and supports a one-of-a-kind long-term mentoring model.

Friends of the Children is a nonprofit that is impacting generational change by empowering youth through relationships with professional mentors. We do this by providing children facing the most obstacles with a long-term, salaried, professional mentor, who we call a “Friend,” from ages 4 to 6 through high school graduation, 12+ years – no matter what. We are currently seeking an extraordinary professional to embark on a new career journey as a Friend at our new Coachella Valley location.
