Laundry and Drycleaning Machine Operator/Tender jobs in Indiana

Job Description: Executive Director, Laundry and More, Inc.

(part-time, 20 hours, flexible hours)

Are you warm-hearted and task-oriented? Hungry to showcase those skills in a part-time leadership position? Are you great with volunteers? Do you enjoy both working alone and serving as “ground control” one day a week as you interact with neighbors and families from a wide range of backgrounds? Are you uniquely good at discovering and building effective relationships with community partners? If so, we would love to meet you!

Laundry and More provides free laundry service and a light lunch every Tuesday to neighbors living in Lawrence Township or near 42nd and Post Road. This critical service also connect neighbors with resources builds community week-after-week. We think it helps prevent crime.

Since our beginning, we’ve been 100% reliant on our amazing volunteers. In 2024, we’re expanding our service (more hours to a second day) so it’s time for change! The new Program Manager is key to better managing our current day of service while also helping our Board execute its work plan for expansion.

Specifically, our program manager will:

1. Oversee laundry day operations, including scheduling volunteers, communicating with laundromat owners, coordinating with drop-in partners, managing money and supplies, etc.

2. Build authentic relationships with neighbors who attend Laundry Day.

3. Train, organize, support and love on our volunteers who are critical to a successful Laundry Day.

4. Oversee data collection that we need to track benefits of service, demographic reach and to provide analysis to donors/grantmakers.

5. Be actively visible in the community and work closely with other professional, civic and private organizations. For example, good community outreach makes sure the word gets out to our most vulnerable neighbors plus helps us identify resources and supports they need. At the same time, we identify, secure and follow up with community partners that have resources to remedy those identified needs.

6. Help train and supervise a few interns and Americorp volunteers who help our Board with specific tasks like data reporting, grant writing, and the like.

7. Execute our small expansion plan on behalf of the Board.

8. Represent our organization in public meetings, including sharing our story in our effort to raise more dollars, connect with community resources and find good volunteers.

9. Tell our story via social media or support an intern in that role, make updates to our website, and effectively communicate with partners and potential partners.

10. Execute any administrative duties assigned by the Board who will retain fundraising responsibilities but may need “leg work” as a support to the Board.

· Basic computer and tablet skills and use of tools like Excel and Word
