Overview
We’re looking for a Youth Engagement Coordinator to nurture and grow RIVET’s global community of young changemakers. You’ll be the one turning ideas into action, bringing our programs to life through meaningful connection and thoughtful coordination. This is a hands-on role for someone who loves building community, managing the details, and showing up consistently for impact leaders.
RIVET has built a unique business model: a consumer-facing brand fueled by the passions of Gen Z to do good in the world; a world-class philanthropic fund providing start-up grants to thousands of young social innovators; and a content engine packaging powerful stories of youth-led change for brands and influencers.
As RIVET continues to grow its youth community, we’re looking for someone who’s both a community architect and a hands-on facilitator, someone who can nurture authentic intergenerational relationships, thrives in startup constant change, and believes youth aren’t the leaders of tomorrow but the changemakers of right now.
The Youth Engagement Coordinator will join a dedicated, passionate, low-ego team of founders in scaling a first-of-its-kind social movement led by young people. The role will report into the Chief Impact Officer and will work closely with the Director of Donor Engagement.
As the Youth Engagement Coordinator, you will join a passionate and mission-aligned team working to scale RIVET’s vision of becoming the most trusted platform for youth-led social change. Reporting to the Chief Impact Officer (CIO) and collaborating closely with our Director of Donor Engagement , as well as others on the team, you’ll help design, steward, and refine the systems, spaces, and relationships that keep our youth community vibrant, visible, and deeply supported. The key areas of responsibility include:
Relationship & Program Coordination
You’ll be responsible for cultivating and deepening relationships across RIVET’s youth ecosystem — from grant recipients and Discord contributors to young donors. This includes managing and coordinating high-touch and intergenerational engagement experiences like Brain Trusts (where our social innovators get help on a pressing business challenge), Pitch Practices (where social innovators get feedback on their pitch), and community calls (where our Discord members gather to connect and learn together). These moments are more than events — they are relationship-building touchpoints that require thoughtful prep, skilled facilitation, and structured follow-up to ensure youth feel supported, seen, and part of something bigger than themselves.
RIVET Youth Cohorts Stewardship
You will steward RIVET’s two core youth leadership bodies — the RIVET Assembly and youth members of RIVET’s Leadership Council (donors) — ensuring they are onboarded, active, and engaged in decision-making and co-creation. Both groups should not only feel empowered to shape RIVET’s strategy but also function as vibrant, self-sustaining spaces where youth leadership is real and respected. You’ll act as the connective tissue between these groups and the wider team, ensuring their contributions are integrated across programs and moments.
Community Building & Discord Management
You’ll lead the growth and vibrancy of RIVET’s Discord community. This is our central hub for youth connection and engagement, and your job will be to make it thrive — through daily rituals, community prompts, event hosting, and moderation that keeps it safe, welcoming, and alive. Your success will be reflected in both the growth of the community and the depth of interaction within it — ensuring our digital spaces mirror the inclusivity, creativity, and energy of the youth we serve.
We’re looking for:
- Mission-aligned: you care deeply about youth power
- Strong facilitator & digital community builder
- High EQ and culturally fluent: effective relationship builder with young people
- Creative thinker with systems-building chops
- Excited to co-create new programs from scratch
This role is ideal for a former youth leader, movement-builder, or community designer who knows how to hold a room (IRL or on Zoom) and can translate vibes into systems.
