We’re looking for a thoughtful, organized, and community-aligned person to join Lotus Rising LA on a short-term contract to help bring our pilot programs to life. This is a part-time, hands-on role supporting families impacted by the 2025 wildfires as they rebuild and return home.

This 3-month contract supports our two core programs:
- Lil’ Lotus Kits – starter care packages for families navigating recovery
- House to Home – furnishing support and essentials for families returning after displacement (https://forms.gle/eU3SNLNMDD7aefqp8)
You’ll help coordinate aid logistics, track survivor needs, and work closely with the founder (that’s me!) to make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
🗓️ Timeline & Pay

- Begin tracking survivor needs
- Light community and vendor requests and follow-up
- Close support and check-ins with me
June: $750 | 10 hrs/week
- Kit assembly and delivery coordination for 10-20 kits

🌱 Ideal For Someone Who
- Cares deeply about community recovery
- Has a strong sense of follow-through
- Is comfortable speaking with survivors and working both on the ground and digitally
- Wants to be part of the Lotus story and occasionally show up on our Instagram and Facebook
- Works well in lightly structured environments, takes initiative, and communicates clearly
- Bonus if you’ve done nonprofit, mutual aid, or logistics work—but not required
We know the pay is modest right now—it’s $2,500 across three months—but this role may grow into a larger paid opportunity as Lotus scales. We're scrappy and deeply committed to building something real, with heart.
