Student Recruiter (Lived Experience)

Azgari Foundation is a 501(c)(3) in Austin that trains young people ages 14-25 who are aging out of foster care or coming home from the juvenile justice system for digital careers - certifications, mentors, and paid work experience. We are hiring TWO Student Recruiters. LIVED EXPERIENCE REQUIRED: you must have a foster care or system-involved background yourself (in care, formerly in care, or juvenile-justice involved). Our students trust people who have been where they are - this role recruits through shared experience and trust, not sales tactics. PAY: $16.00 per hour, 10 hours per week, hybrid - in-person outreach in Austin and online. Outcome bonuses: $100 for every student you recruit who enrolls and stays in the program for 3 months, plus an additional $100 when that student completes the program and gets a job through us. REQUIREMENTS: reliable car (in-person outreach across the Austin area is a core part of the job), valid driver's license; based in the Austin area; warm, persistent, organized; comfortable talking with youth, families, schools, and community partners; background check required (we work with minors). No pressure tactics and no promises to prospective students - ever; eligibility is decided by the program, not the recruiter. TO APPLY: apply here or email raj.patel@azgari.org with your background, your connection to the foster care or juvenile justice system (share only what you are comfortable sharing), and two or three sentences on where you would find our next students.
