Alumni and Donor Relations Specialist

The Oaks Academy seeks candidates that are mission-driven, self-motivated, idea-inspired, and social justice oriented. Ideal applicants are seeking significant responsibility within a quality learning experience alongside fundraising and marketing professionals. The Oaks has three campuses, each in beautiful downtown Indianapolis neighborhoods. You will be close to the Monon trail, multiple city parks, and all the amenities of exciting downtown Indianapolis. The Oaks Academy currently serves 870 Pre-Kindergarten through 8th-grade students at three school locations in Indianapolis urban neighborhoods. Students benefit from a Christ-centered, classical education: humanities-based, interdisciplinary curriculum filled with Latin lessons, nature walks, and recitations. The Oaks Academy was founded to serve children of diverse backgrounds. Approximately 50% of students’ families are low income, 25% are middle income, and 25% are high income with about 40% who are White, 40% who are Black, and 14% who are Asian, Latino or Multiracial. The Oaks Academy distributes scholarships to over 75% of enrolled families, which equates to over $3 million in need-based scholarships. The ultimate purpose of the VISTA program at The Oaks Academy is to effectively serve families in poverty: through the admittance of low-income students and the raising of funds for their need-based scholarships. Previous Oaks Academy VISTAs have gone on to their careers of choice in communications, fundraising and research due to their robust experiences at The Oaks.
