Washington, United States Fishing School Full time
Job DescriptionJob DescriptionSalary:

Purpose: Our main priority is to prepare public school youth for middle school and beyond by building academic and life skills and by engaging them and their parents through intensive, multi-year programs and services. The Development & Communications department is responsible for conveying the mission of TFS to the community and its constituents in order to maintain and improve fundraising efforts to sustain programming. TFS seeks a Communications Intern as well as an Events Intern to assist in the day-to-day efforts and special projects of the D & C Team including fundraising.


We are looking for cause-driven leaders who understand the impact of collaboration to join our organization. We have provided year-round, out-of-school programming to youth in the Washington DC area for more than 30 years. We aren’t like most out-of-school time programs. The Fishing School prioritizes evaluation and feedback to ensure we’re providing our students with the most impactful programming. Here are five facts that set The Fishing School apart:


1. Our program structure is research-based and intentionally designed to develop the whole child – providing a foundation that grows with each student through high school and beyond.


2. The Fishing School partners with several corporations and organizations that value education and youth development. As a result, we have grown our program to host needs-based services for students that need additional academic support.


3. We are committed to staying up-to-date with industry research as the education landscape continues to evolve. Our program is evolving to address the newly discovered gaps in education caused by the pandemic

We structure our programs to increase participants' math and reading performance, increase participants' life skills, and increase parents' engagement and ability to support student success. Because of our out-of-school programming:


• 40% of TFS' students will improve in math and/or reading scores.
• 40% of TFS' students will turn their homework in on time.
• 75% of TFS' students will improve or identify positive social engagement and self-efficacy.
• 20% of TFS' parents will report using math and reading success tips at home.

When you join The Fishing School, you join a team of cause-driven leaders that want to make a difference in the lives of our students. Are you the cause-driven leader we’re looking for?
