About Us

Staffmax is looking for an Event Planner for a non-profit organization committed to preparing youth (Grades 6–12) for the jobs of tomorrow. Through hands-on events, engaging speakers, and interactive programming, they help students explore future career paths and build essential skills.

We are currently seeking a Program and Event Planner to join our team and help bring our events to life.

  • Set and communicate agendas

  • Liaise with partners, vendors, and internal teams

  • Attend and manage on-site event execution as needed

  • Track event timelines and budgets

  • Ensure a smooth and engaging experience for all attendees

Qualifications

We’re looking for someone who is:

  • Organized, proactive, and dependable

  • Comfortable managing multiple tasks and timelines

  • A strong communicator (written and verbal)

  • Passionate about youth development and education

  • Tech-savvy and able to use basic planning tools (e.g., Excel, Google Calendar, email, etc.)

Bonus if you have:

  • Experience working with students or youth

  • Previous event or program coordination experience

  • A flexible schedule, especially during peak event periods

What We Offer

  • A meaningful opportunity to make a difference in students’ lives

  • Flexible, part-time hours

  • Collaborative, mission-driven work environment

  • Established event templates and tools to guide your planning
