Job description:
Running Hack Club (https://hackclub.com) is already a big job and this school year, we're trying to support more students launching more Hack Clubs. We need an awesome assistant who is organized, entrepreneurial, and cheerful. You don't need to be highly technical for this role.
If you're great at logistics, extremely organized, highly motivated to
volunteer for projects, and able to anticipate problems and show
initiative in solving them, then you're just what we need in this
position.
As your first priority, you will be responsible for scheduling group
calls between students and staff members. Hack Club operates in nearly
all 50 states and 22 countries worldwide, meaning you must be
comfortable with complicated scheduling challenges across many different
timezones.
Given the inevitable chaos this school year will bring, you must be
ready to pick up projects when gaps are found. These may include, but
are not limited to: mailing handwritten notes to students, receiving
laptops in the mail and shipping them to students, joining calls to take
notes, and thoughtfully reminding staff to check in with students.
If you're interested, please submit 3-5 short paragraphs detailing your
background, education, location, whether you've worked remotely before,
the word "elephant" in the subject line, and why you think you're a good
fit for this job to assistant@hackclub.com.
You'll likely become more technical and you'll be rewarded not only in
salary, but also in the secret knowledge that everything would fall
apart without you.
Requirements:
Extremely organized
Ready to follow up with students if they don't respond, both over
email and text
Perfect English and grammar
Great attitude, cheerful and bringing a can-do mindset to work
Nice to haves:
Great handwriting
Experience leading a club when you were in high school or college
(it's OK if that was decades ago!)
About Hack Club
══════════════
Learning to code gives you super powers and Hack Club (https://hackclub.com), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is built to be a fun home for high schoolers interested in technology. In Hack Club, teenagers meet friends, build amazing things with code, and become part of a culture that is wholesome, kind, curious, and oriented towards problem solving.
Hack Club doesn't have teachers or offices. Most of what we do is
student-led. Currently, Hack Club has nearly 500 computer science
clubs around the country and world started by students in their own
high schools, from Kentucky to Long Island to San Francisco, Kerala,
India, Kenya, and Zambia. 10,000 students are on our Slack; and more
than 100 CS events (hackathons, now virtual) happen each year.
We've created a space where students want to learn to build cool stuff
that interests them with their friends and they get hooked into the
beauty and excitement of building with technology, eventually becoming
self-taught. Everything at Hack Club is free and open source (3,300
commits on GitHub), including our code and our finances.
In 5 years, we hope Hack Club will have helped create a new generation
of leaders with 21st century skills, as well as a mindset that values
kindness, optimism, fun, creativity, and passion for building great
things that push progress.
