Job Description

Capital B is a national and local nonprofit news organization that serves Black communities across the country. We’re hiring a Community Engagement Ambassador to support the growth of our Gary, Indiana, newsroom, Capital B Gary.

We’re looking for a dynamic, outgoing person who knows and loves Gary. The Community Engagement Ambassador’s primary job is to deliver our monthly Capital B Gary print edition across the city, helping to design and maintain an efficient delivery route. But there’s more: You’ll represent Capital B Gary at community events, help grow our newsletter subscriber base, and build relationships that support our community-based journalism. You’ll be joining a hard-working, lively, and award-winning newsroom and organization.

This part-time role is perfect for someone who is a natural connector — someone who loves approaching and talking to their neighbors, and is eager to connect them with information they might need. If you're uncomfortable approaching and talking to strangers, this role isn’t right for you.

This position reports to the Gary editor. 

Compensation: $18/hour (20 hours/month) and mileage reimbursement

LOCATION: Gary, Indiana; hybrid

Requirements

RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Deliver the print edition of Capital B Gary to community hubs and directly to homes across the city
  • Curate, refine, and regularly update delivery routes for maximum efficiency and reach
  • Represent Capital B Gary at events and in everyday community spaces
  • Help grow our email newsletter subscriber base
  • Build and maintain trusted relationships with community members and organizations
  • Assist with outreach and promotion for Capital B events
  • Meet in person with the Gary editor and team at our office in Miller, as needed

WHAT YOU’LL BRING:

  • A reliable vehicle and a valid driver’s license
  • A deep connection and love for Gary 
  • An outgoing personality and strong comfort level speaking with new people
  • Strong time-management and project-management skills
  • A self-starter attitude, as you’ll often be working independently 
  • A belief in Capital B’s mission of serving Black communities with strong journalism and community care

Benefits

WHAT WE'LL BRING

  • A compassionate, supportive workplace
  • Federal mileage reimbursement
  • Opportunities for growth
