Lighthouse Immigrant Advocates (LIA) is seeking a Communications & Development Assistant to support the heart of our mission - sustaining legal protection and stability for immigrant families in West Michigan.

This role plays a meaningful part in how LIA communicates with donors, partners, and the broader community. It is ideal for someone who is thoughtful, detail-oriented, and grounded in care - someone who can balance creative communication with accurate systems work.

This is not a purely administrative role. The Communications & Development Assistant contributes to maintaining and strengthening the systems that make immigrant legal defense possible and reliable.

We strongly encourage applications from early-career professionals and those whose lived experiences and values align with immigrant justice. LIA prioritizes experience, character, and cultural fit over formal education credentials.

Key responsibilities include: 

• Overseeing all LIA communications channels (website, email, social platforms, Google page, and public listings)
• Executing coordinated campaigns
• Supporting fundraising operations and donor engagement
• Maintaining accurate donor data and supporting strategic prospecting
• Other duties as assigned within communications and development

Work Structure: 80% in-office / 20% remote eligible
