OPEN ROLES

business outreach

Parents’ Night Out Coordinator

Parents love time off - let’s create opportunities to make it happen that benefit Bell either monetarily or at a huge discount for the community. 

• Work with organizations to schedule and manage the logistics 

• Promote and manage sign-ups for Parents Night Out events

• Reach out to other organizations to create new Parent Night opportunities

Community building

NFL Playoff Pool Lead

Looking for a sports fan or two to develop a fun, low-stakes activity that combines fundraising and community building in the Jan - Feb time frame. NFL Playoff Pick Em pool fits the bill, but open to other ideas. This would be new to Bell, so you’ll have to lead the way!

• Create the concept and figure out logistics from the ground up

• Build excitement and participation by creating and distributing marketing assets

• Source prizes and potential add-on revenue (mulligans, double down, prop bets?)

• Feeling ambitious? Plan an optional social outing to kick off or cap off the activity.

Good Neighbors

Bell Family Fund

Looking for a compassionate parent leader to jumpstart a community aid program to assist Bell families who need support. The goal would be to provide immediate assistance with items or financial needs in a confidential manner that allows students to focus on their education. This could include scholarships, school supplies, household items, etc.

Sister School

The Children’s First Fund matches two CPS schools to develop a personalized relationship that helps enhance education for both communities. From joint field trips and parent enrichment to providing additional financial resources to our partner school, Friends of Bell can build an enduring relationship to expand connections across our CPS community. We need a passionate parent leader passionate to spearhead this initiative.

Fundraising

Bell Birthday Fund

We need a marketer! Help spread the word about our newest initiative. Do your children really need more gifts? Stop the clutter. In lieu of gifts at your next birthday party, you can participate in the Bell Birthday Fund and encourage your guests to donate to Bell in honor of your child.

• Create the messaging

• Design promotional materials from flyers to social posts

• Project manage requests to promote the initiative through Bell channels at regular intervals

School activities

Sports Boosters Lead or Co-Lead

Students can participate in extracurricular sports starting in 5th grade. We often host volleyball and basketball games at Bell, making it the perfect opportunity to raise money. Let’s put our power behind Bell athletics.

• Recruit and organize volunteers to sell concessions to raise money for Bell athletic teams

• Assist the athletics department in managing t-shirt orders

• Support the athletics department in finding volunteer coaches as necessary

marketing & communications

Graphic Designers

Got a creative streak? We need design gurus to bring our fundraising materials and events to life with eye-catching visuals! Fit it into your schedule as you’re able. 

• Design flyers, graphics, and event materials

• Help with branding for Friends of Bell and its programs

• Create engaging visual content for newsletters and the website
