Careers

At Friends of the Children, we center our work on the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive, guided by values that honor the sacredness of children and the strength of community. Our approach is grounded in long-term impact, authentic relationships, and culturally-responsive practices that uplift youth and families across urban, rural, and Indigenous communities.

As a Development Specialist, you play a vital role in sustaining and growing this impact. Through meaningful donor engagement, thoughtful storytelling, and strategic outreach, you help build the resources and relationships that make our mission possible. This role is about more than fundraising—it’s about connecting people to purpose, strengthening community investment, and amplifying the voices and successes of the youth we serve.

Are you someone who believes in the power of relationships to create lasting change? Do you enjoy engaging with your community, sharing compelling stories, and building support for a mission that matters? If so, this role offers an opportunity to contribute to something bigger—helping ensure that every child we serve has the support, stability, and encouragement they need to reach their full potential.

At Friends of the Children, we put children first and use our values to change the way the world treats and views youth facing great barriers. These values align with the Indigenous extended kinship model and worldview that children are sacred. As a Friend you will nurture long-term relationships from a foundation of love, acceptance, and culturally-informed practices. Do you want to help Billings' urban, rural, and Indigenous youth discover their limitless potential, by fostering their internal resiliency? Are you ready to help build relationships within the communities of our youth and families to strengthen social networks and provide bridges to new opportunities? If so, the impactful role of a Friend might be for you!
