Jersey Local Outreach Gig School Awareness Campaign

Overview

We are looking for a reliable and personable local individual to help with a longer term, on the ground community outreach effort in Jersey City, NJ. This project supports a Jersey City charter school that is running a neighborhood awareness and promotion campaign. The work is straightforward, community focused, and highly flexible.

• Visit local merchants, apartment buildings, community centers, cafes, libraries, and similar neighborhood locations.
• Ask permission to post school posters in approved public areas.
• Introduce a school merchant partner program to local businesses.
• If a merchant agrees, place a small school decal on their storefront window.
• Collect basic information from participating merchants for inclusion in the school’s online partner directory.
• Take quick photos to confirm poster and decal placement.

Participating merchants receive free promotion on the school’s website in a public partner directory. This is a community partnership, not a sales role. You are simply explaining the program and asking if they would like to participate.

Three to four month engagement. Approximately 10 to 20 hours per week. Work can be done on your own schedule whenever it is most convenient for you.

$20 per hour. Paid on a regular schedule. All materials provided including posters and decals.
