Are you looking for a fulfilling, part-time position where you can contribute in a meaningful way, apply your administrative and organizational skills, and enjoy your work in partnership with great teachers and students?

San Juan Diego Academy (SJDA) is a pre‑K through 8 school that provides a rigorous academic curriculum in a faith‑filled and nurturing environment. We strive to equip students with academic, moral and spiritual formation to enrich their lives and help nurture future leaders. Values are at the forefront of everything we do at SJDA, and they are reflected in the work environment for teachers and staff.

Like peer schools in the Diocese of Grand Rapids, SJDA serves a community of dynamic students and families guided by our Catholic faith. Our student body is largely first- or second‑generation Hispanic families who speak Spanish as a first language. Wide financial support from the West Michigan community and beyond, through partnerships with parishes, foundations and donors, is essential to our success.

In order to advance partner relationships and boost support to our school, SJDA is looking for an Assistant in the Office of Advancement.

In this role, you will be a crucial teammate, contributing to our commitment to expanding SJDA’s recognition and presence in the community, and maintaining a high level of integrity, trust and honor in donor relationships.

The position requires a 19‑hour work week. While most of your work hours will be on‑site, you will have flexibility around which hours and days you choose to work within 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Your responsibilities will include managing financial gifts, meetings with partners, creative collaboration, event planning and hosting, email communication, and may include preparation for meetings, design and production of print materials, and design and production of multimedia.
