  • Collaborate with Marketing to promote mentorship opportunities and highlight mentors
  • Work with Operations to ensure scheduling, payment, and compliance systems run smoothly
  • Contribute to developing policies (mentor codes of conduct, confidentiality agreements)
  • Support program sustainability by helping define metrics and improvement processes

Requirements

  • Strong organizational and project management skills
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • Ability to work collaboratively across teams (Programming, Marketing, Operations, Finance)
  • A passion for mentorship, coaching, and supporting Muslim writers' growth
  • Commitment to MLF's mission and values
  • Reliable access to internet and ability to work remotely
  • Bonus: Experience in mentorship, coaching, publishing, or nonprofit program management

What You'll Gain
