I’m looking for a public relations consultant to meet our goal of on-going visibility, so important in a mature, successful but small nonprofit. L.A. Youth, as you can see by its Facebook page, use of videos, and coverage by blogs (including LA Observed, Witness LA and Columbia Journalism Review), is not unsophisticated about the Internet and also makes judicious use of email marketing technology. Myrow is looking for someone who is practical and gets results, with up-to-date contacts, experience in journalism and an interest in a creative, pro-active relationship. I’d expect the work to include not only writing and media pitching but also community-based work, regular brainstorming and good status-reporting as to efforts in play.
The consultant would be paid an hourly rate at the prevailing non-profit norm and the amount of time required would be 8-10 hrs./week.
Although this youth newspaper is of course an important part of LA’s journalism landscape, it is primarily a youth-development nonprofit and has important advocacy missions relating to foster youth, young men of color and other particular populations. If you have a special interest in such work, you might find L.A.Youth especially appealing because it is highly regarded for its effectiveness. There are also specific programs that are funded from time to time that might focus on particular content areas or issues such as earthquake preparedness, financial literacy, etc. This means that Myrow needs someone who’s happy to work on smaller specialized awareness campaigns that require new specialized contacts– not to mention new ideas.
If this would interest you, send a resume to dmyrow@layouth.com
