Is this the norm or a really bad offer?

Hi all

Never looked into non profits as It wasnt my interest but got this offered from a friend who intered there and saw they got a open position. I guess im lucky he knows the boss so I can skip lots of the interviewing hastle?

Passed the bar a year ago and they would hire me as a Immigration lawyer (which I did as previous firm before they went bankrupt). 4 day workweek 9-5 Monday-Thursday. 35k per year (lol?) in Washington DC. Only benefit is free transit.

I was thinking maybe the expierence, network and it on my resume can be reason enough as I also dont have another job waiting (obviously I keep applying), but just wanted to hear - is this a norm? big outlier? I would just know for actual law firms but not lawyers in NGO.

Thanks in advance.

Schedule from hell

For context, this is a FT job that does community mental help outreach. It is an entry level job everyday on site. Pays terribly in a very COL area. Not enough to survive, which means PT is necessary to pay the bills. But how can a PT job be possible with this schedule? Is management so disconnected that they can't understand how problematic it is? Have you ever dealt with a schedule like this?

Looking for a central listing of jobs

Is anyone aware of there is a website that is specifically to list non-profit jobs? A centralized way to search for openings. I still look at individual companies, but it would be so helpful if there was a site where non profits list.

I came across some while googling but they seemed a little fishy and the filters were limited.

international volunteer suggestions that are (preferably) not the peace corps?

hi all! i am a recent college graduate with a degree in creative writing, and i have both internship experience and 2 years of local writing-related volunteer work experience, primarily with kids.

i have been wanting to volunteer abroad for a while now, mostly being recommended the peace corps, but i have some ethical concerns about the organization. admittedly, i am not a fan of the soft-power implications the peace corps hold, especially since it is funded and supported by the US. it also doesn’t do work in places like cuba and palestine, so i’d prefer an organization that does.

my native language is english, but i have minor fluency in spanish (can hear and read, cannot speak yet).

i understand this probably significantly reduces my options, as i don’t have much professional experience in education and similar roles, but any ideas are helpful!

also feel free to convince me otherwise about the peace corps!

Looking for nonprofit arts & culture jobs in Los Angeles? Here they are!

Looking for nonprofit arts & culture jobs in Los Angeles? I've built a listing site that's unlike any other :-) laartjobs.org

Every day at 7AM, it automatically checks the career pages of over three dozen major orgs. New jobs come on and old jobs come off my site within 24 hours of an org posting/removing the listing from their website.

Each entry lists the job description, org name, salary, FT/PT, and a direct link to the org's site. You can sort, search, and filter (by org, title, salary, etc.) as you wish. You can also sign up for daily email alerts, so you're the first to know of new listings without visiting my site.

LACMA, Getty, MOCA, The Broad, Academy Museum, etc. They're all there.

Hate getting excited about a listing only to find out that it had been pulled a month ago? Hate having to sift through garbage to find arts and culture jobs? Yeah, me too. No more of that.

Importantly, no ads, no sign-ups, no trackers. It's free to the world. Enjoy and share!

PS: Let me know what major orgs I've missed and what features you want. I actively maintain the site. And remember that this is an automated system, so I can't post jobs manually on an ad-hoc basis.

Strike back

here is an organization called GLADD Community based out of New York, they offer and base their mission on Grief Coaching and On Call grief support. This Organization hired multiple people recently as on call grief coaches and broke contract with all the independent contractors by first changing payroll schedules from bi weekly to monthly with very little short notice and then required certifications, and note that a lot of the coaches paid out of pocket for their certifications and then this organization suddenly informed everyone the day of August 1st that effective immediately all positions were changed to voluntary because of being short of funds and donations that are supposedly relied upon to pay everyone they hired. Multiple people couldn’t live on a voluntary position in today’s economy and now it’s been weeks since any responses from their organizations leaders and NOBODY has been paid for their contracted services. They left EVERYONE high and dry period, while they are making TikTok videos promoting their organization and also planning on being on Goodnorning America. The public should know how this organization is really being unprofessional and collecting donations only to not pay those they hired and left Grieving for compensation of contracted services.

volunteering for college applications/ passion project

I’ve seen so many mixed reviews on volunteering (and yes type of volunteering i’m assuming matters) but I have never gotten a straight answer if college verify if your actually volunteering? but if i volunteer and take it more seriously than just some smaller things i’m doing now i’m wondering how much/what would be more impactful on my future application. like do I have to start something? or become president of an organization? so far I’ve volunteered a lot over the years at shelters and adoption centers for dogs but interested to make more of a genuine impact (maybe regarding women or children in need etc). looking for any recommendations that would stand out on application and “count” while simultaneously make a greater impact than what i’m currently doing.

i’ve also seen lots of people say that a passion project is a great memorable thing to do for applications and myself, if anyone has information on that would be great too!

PT Job: US Skakeboarding Education Association: Member Services - Remote

USSEA (US Skateboard Education Association)
Title: Member Services Manager (1099 Contract, Remote)
Pay: $25–30/hour + performance commission
Hours: 20-30 hours per week (possible to expand to 40 as we grow)
Number of hires: Two (2), one to work US ET the other US PT hours +

About USSEA

USSEA certifies skateboard instructors and brings skateboarding into schools, PE programs, camps, and communities across the country. Our mission is to make skateboarding safer, simpler, and accessible to everyone by training, certifying, and supporting the educators who teach it.

The Role

You'll be the voice of USSEA. Members call you with questions and problems. Prospects hear from you in outreach calls. Content comes from you to keep members engaged across web and social channels.

We're hiring two Member Services Managers right now — one covering US Pacific Time hours and one covering US Eastern Time hours, so we have live coverage across the lower 48 during business hours.

Your core responsibilities:

● Answer member calls and resolve their issues
● Make sales calls (cold, warm, and hot) and convert prospects to paying members weekly
● Write and post member engagement content
● Maintain website and social media presence
● Support sponsor and partner relationships

What We're Looking For

You are organized, a clear communicator, and motivated by hitting targets. You genuinely enjoy making calls — cold and warm — because being on the phone is a major part of this role. You have your own computer with solid internet, and you thrive in a startup environment that evolves quickly.

Bonus Experience

Skateboarding background or genuine eagerness to learn it. Nonprofit, grants, or donor funding experience. Action sports marketing. Teaching, camps, or school program experience. Comfort with basic AI tools.

How It Works

● Classification: Independent contractor (1099), US-based
● Hours: 20–30 hours/week, flexible — one daily team working session at 9:00am PT. This isn't a status-update check-in — it's real work: solving problems, building, and driving momentum alongside one of the founders and the rest of the team.
● Commission structure: In development. As the program gains traction, you'll have direct input into how commission is structured — this isn't handed down from above, it's built with the team actually doing the selling.
● Response expectations: TBD — to be finalized with the hire(s)
● Can grow into a full-time salaried role

Work Directly With a Founder

This role isn't siloed. You'll work daily with one of USSEA's founders — solving real problems, contributing ideas, and getting exposure to every part of the organization. We're small and building fast, and everyone is expected to bring energy, creativity, and momentum to the shared vision, not just execute tasks.

The Key Expectation

Two things, every week: convert new members and sell products, and maintain and engage existing members to keep creating value for them.
