Join Our Team: Now Hiring an Education Coordinator!

Are you passionate about education, community engagement, and helping young people succeed? Do you thrive in a role that blends relationship-building with purpose-driven work? Junior Achievement of Eastern Iowa is hiring a part-time Education Coordinator—and we’re looking for someone who’s ready to make an impact.

As an Education Coordinator, you won’t just be organizing programs—you’ll be inspiring futures. This position plays a vital role in connecting local businesses with schools to bring hands-on, real-world learning into the classroom. From coordinating volunteer opportunities to supporting experiential programs like JA BizTown® Mobile, JA Finance Park® Mobile, and JA Dream Accelerator, this is meaningful work that makes a difference.

What You'll Do:

Build and maintain relationships with school personnel and community volunteers
Train volunteers on Junior Achievement’s (JA) curriculum focused on financial literacy, career readiness, and entrepreneurship
Coordinate logistics for in-class and experiential learning programs
Promote and renew JA programming with teachers and schools
Travel locally to schools and businesses for presentations, training, and material delivery
Ensure quality programming through evaluations and ongoing support

What We're Looking For:

A proactive communicator who’s comfortable with email and digital tools
A team player who thrives in a collaborative environment
Someone who can think on their feet and solve problems creatively
A detail-oriented organizer who can manage data and stay on top of deadlines
A natural connector who can motivate others and represent JA’s mission with enthusiasm

This part-time role offers flexible hours during the school year and summers off, making it a great fit for former educators, parents, or anyone looking to make a difference on a flexible schedule. Plus, you’ll join a passionate, mission-driven team that believes in the power of hands-on learning to transform lives.

Why Junior Achievement?

At JA, we believe in the boundless potential of young people and the power of education to change lives. Our values guide everything we do—from the way we work as a team to how we serve our schools and volunteers.

If you're looking for a role where your work matters, your ideas are valued, and your impact is felt across the community, we’d love to hear from you.
