Project Overview

Justice Through Code (JTC) needs your support in crafting a templated communications plan. We hope to use this framework for future program initiatives, fundraising events, and program communications.

We need your expertise to communicate big moments for our organizations clearly, concisely, and consistently. We are looking for a skilled communications professional to:

-Create a checklist to guide JTC through the who, what, when, and how of sharing program updates, internal shifts, or responses to current events
-This checklist should pull in all the various channels that our nonprofit should use to reach clients, volunteers, and prospective and current donors so we have a standardized plan for outreach
-The templated communications plan should take into account our current marketing tools and staff availability

This project should take from 12-24 hours to complete. We're hopeful that our volunteer partner will share 2-5 hours of their time per week.

Are you ready to use your skills to drive real, systemic change in America's hiring practices? Justice Through Code (JTC) is seeking a talented communications expert like you to help us amplify our mission and impact.

Who We Are:
JTC is at the forefront of transforming fair chance hiring across major U.S. corporations. We empower justice-involved individuals with in-demand tech skills, educate business leaders, and mobilize powerful networks to create lasting change.

Our Challenge:
We're at a pivotal growth moment with significant opportunities to expand our reach. We need a strategic communications plan to capitalize on this potential and increase both the size and engagement of our audience.

Your Mission:
Create a templated communications plan that will serve as our roadmap for future initiatives, fundraising events, and program updates.

Why Your Help Matters:
Your skills will directly contribute to breaking cycles of poverty and incarceration, promoting economic equity, and unlocking the potential of millions of Americans with criminal records. You'll play a crucial role in helping JTC orchestrate a fundamental shift in how corporate America views justice-involved talent.
Join us in this mission to create lasting systemic change. Your expertise can help us reach more people, influence more leaders, and ultimately transform more lives.

To prepare for the creation of this communications checklist, we have taken stock of existing email, PR, or social media tactics that have worked well for our team in the past. We will implement the results of this project by the end of August 2024.

Nonprofit Overview

We are working to make this vision a reality through our free technical and professional career development accelerators. We educate and nurture talent with conviction histories to create a more just and diverse workforce. We increase workplace equity through partnerships that educate and prepare teams to create supportive pathways to careers that end the cycle of poverty that contributes to incarceration and recidivism.
