About Skookum Kids:
Skookum Kids is a foster care agency based in Bellingham Washington. We operate an emergency shelter, train & license foster families, and provide abuse-prevention and foster care alternative programming services. We believe foster care, like most hard things, is best done with a supportive community; so we work to find ways for everyone—from trained mental health professionals to teenagers—to roll up their sleeves and get involved.
Position Duties:
You'll join a small-but-mighty team working to expand the support for kids/families across our community by attracting financial, volunteer, and in-kind support. You'll participate in planning for our two major annual events, and ensure our existing supporters are thanked and appreciated in a timely way.
