Starting in June - with potential part-time work and training available much sooner - our new Director of Development will supervise fundraising. The ideal candidate will be ready to work with a wide range of people, from committed major donors to people entirely new to Catholic classical education, as well as everyone in between. Fundraising and recruiting means storytelling and relationship-building. There's a technical side to it - good communication skills, database management - but ultimately it's about inviting donors and friends into our mission and vision. We're a young, growing Catholic classical school in the Philadelphia suburbs, and we need you to help us grow to the next level. These are hard times in our Church and in our culture, but what a great time to be a missionary and help grow saints for the long haul. Come help us renew the Church and be part of a joyful community.
