Aloha!
This ad focuses on positions with our Hui Hoʻoulu Kaiaulu (Community Outreach/Social Media Team):
Community Outreach Manager & Mentor (COMM) OR Community Outreach Assistant (COA) - full-time or part-time.
If you are interested in positions with our Executive, Digital Storytelling Team and/or Program Teams, visit manamaoli.org.
Hereʻs 5 reasons NOT to apply to join our team:
1) You dislike working with genuine, humble, amazing people
2) You find flex scheduling, remote work options, and not dressing up for work appalling
3) You are appalled at the notion of both working with youth AND behind the scenes support for those who do
4) Ditto with creating and/or supporting story telling through music and video, as mediums to perpetuate and evolve Hawaiian culture, and impact our youth & local + online communities
5) Getting paid to be at school-wide concerts, music video film shoots and jam sessions with Hawaiiʻs favorite artists and hammahz, sounds nailz.
Mana Maoli, a Hawaiian non-profit serving thousands of youth across 22 schools and 4 islands, seeks qualified, not-normal (but in a good way), committed and passionate team players to join our Hui Hoʻoulu Kaiaulu (Community Outreach/Social Media Team).

The ongoing aim is to provide a platform for content that highlights student products, Mana Mele Programs, Hawaiian values, culture, and language, and other content aligned with MM and partnersʻ missions.
The Community Outreach Assistant (COA) will assist the COMM in managing Mana Maoliʻs social media accounts, and other projects related to Mana Maoliʻs community outreach goals.
For both positions, full time and part-time hours are possible.
