Santa Clara, CA
Contracted
Entry Level
Agency: Maitri is a non-profit agency in the San Francisco Bay Area whose vision is a society where all relationships are based on dignity, equity, and compassion. Maitri’s mission-focused programs help provide critical services that empower South Asian survivors of domestic violence and move the needle on the prevention of abuse in the South Asian community and beyond.

Job Summary: This is a part-time contract role to support the Maitri Gala, ideal for a junior-to-mid-level person who is highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable working across systems, vendors, and timelines.
