Donor Relations Specialist, The Oaks Academy
 
 
 
The Oaks Academy seeks candidates that are mission-driven, self-motivated, and idea-inspired. Ideal applicants are seeking a quality learning experience with significant responsibility alongside education professionals. The goal of the VISTA program is to build capacity at The Oaks to serve a diverse group of students and families. By creating systems and implementing strategies to better communicate and build relationships, VISTAs members will help to recruit families with low-incomes to enroll their children at The Oaks and raise funds for their need-based scholarships. Members will also help to improve organizational systems so that the schools run efficiently and effectively. Previous Oaks VISTAs have gone on to careers in communications, nonprofit management, fundraising and research due to their robust experiences at The Oaks. The Oaks serves an intentionally diverse student body - both racially and socioeconomically. Approximately 50 percent of students are white and 50 percent of students are people of color. Fifty percent of the 973 students live in low-income households, and The Oaks provides them with over $3 million in need-based scholarships. This commitment to creating a balanced mixed-race and mixed-income community since the beginning is a model that research has shown to benefit all. The Oaks is a Pre-K through 8th-grade Christ-centered school with three campuses in Indianapolis, close to the Monon Trail, multiple city parks, and vibrant downtown communities.
