Organization: Santa Barbara Education Foundation
The Santa Barbara Education Foundation (SBEF) provides and supports programs that enrich the academic, artistic, and personal development of all students in the Santa Barbara Unified School District (SBUSD). SBEF’s Léni Fund is specifically designed to provide equitable access to performing arts experiences to all SBUSD students, preschool through 12th grade. We have been doing this work for the past 10 years, and our partnerships are with local community organizations, the district, and artists.
Position: Strategic Planning Fellow
The Strategic Planning Fellow will research the Léni Fund’s work over the last 10 years and create materials to represent the Fund to the public and partners, possibly in the form of an annual report, marketing materials, and communications and web designs to update and expand our online presence. The Fellow will also research partnerships between funders and community organizations and identify new avenues for arts education and areas for potential collaboration for the Léni Fund.
The Strategic Planning Fellow will complete the internship in 200 total hours, beginning in June 2025.
