$20.00 Hey, Event Rockstar — We’re Looking for You! Second Shift is on a mission to help youth aging out of foster care step confidently into adulthood — and we’re doing it in bold, creative, and unforgettable ways. Our signature events are not just fundraisers — they’re full-on movements . Right now, we’re looking for a part-time Event Coordinator to lead the charge on two of the most unique and meaningful events in the Birmingham metro area : Swag The Bag – a high-energy, fashion-meets-activism art show where trash bags get a fierce rebrand and youth shine on the runway. It’s not just fashion — it’s storytelling with style. Colors of Connection – a community-powered celebration of art, hope, and what’s possible when people come together to create something beautiful. Other fun meetings and community events – Because it can’t be a party 24/7! These events don’t run themselves, so that’s where you come in.

What You’ll Be Rockin’:

Swag The Bag Be the lead planner for the entire event — yes, the whole glamorous, gritty, meaningful shebang Run our online silent auction using 32Auctions (think: gathering cool items, posting them, and managing all the behind-the-scenes action) Coordinate decor creation, build events, and on-site display installations Organize volunteers and lead setup/tear down like a pro Keep our timeline tight, our vendors in the loop, and our vision on point Colors of Connection + Community Events Plan and execute creative community-based art events throughout the year Handle all the fun logistics like locations, supplies, and schedules Bring people together to create meaningful moments Other Meetings and Community Events as needed Volunteer Vibes Recruit passionate and reliable volunteers to help bring each event to life Keep the energy high and the details flowing Fundraising Fun Pitch in with donor tasks, sponsor outreach, and other creative fundraising magic as needed

You’re Gonna Crush It If You Are:

A creative organizer who loves events, checklists, and good vibes Comfortable with tech (bonus if you’ve used auction platforms before!) A strong communicator who can rally people and keep things moving Chill under pressure, flexible with changes, and solid on deadlines Passionate about making a difference — especially for youth Cool working some evenings or weekends when event time rolls around

Why This Work Matters:

At Second Shift, we believe a trash bag should never be a suitcase. Every time a young person in foster care moves with their belongings in a trash bag, it sends the wrong message about their value. That’s why Swag The Bag flips the script — transforming trash bags into art and fashion statements that demand attention and spark change. Our events help reframe the narrative around youth in foster care — from overlooked to unstoppable. Ready to Join the Crew? Send your resume and a quick note telling us why this role excites you. Let’s make some magic.
