HIRING: Maydm Program Coordinator

Position Title: Program Coordinator – Full-Time

A 501c(3), Maydm provides girls and youth of color grades 6-12 with the skills, experiences, and connections to pursue careers in and change the face of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). We envision a world where all students know that a career in STEM is possible for them; a world where all students can pursue their dreams as entrepreneurs, developers, engineers, or professors in a STEM field.

Maydm, as an organization, was founded as a response to the overwhelming lack of technical training that meets the needs of low income students, girls, and youth of color. Our programs offer opportunities for youth to develop knowledge and skills in science, technology, and engineering. Throughout the year, we offer one-day workshops independently and in partnership with other community organizations. In these sessions, students gain introductory insights into a STEM topic and begin growing their interest in STEM. Each summer, we offer a series of multi-week immersive programs where students gain in-depth technical knowledge as well as go on site visits to local companies and engage in critical conversations on confidence and equity and innovation. These experiences create opportunities and experiences for students who may not have otherwise been able to participate in holistic STEM learning, for students to change the face of STEM.

We are seeking an experienced, enthusiastic person to coordinate our Maydm on-site and off-site educational programs as well as our growing internship program. We are also especially seeking women, people of color, and bilingual (i.e. English/Spanish, English/Hmong) candidates for this position. We strongly encourage you to apply even if you think you have some, but not all of the requirements listed below. You may be exactly what we’re looking for and if so, we’ll teach you the rest.

  • Reliable transportation and ability to travel between Maydm’s office and offsite school-based and partner programs.
  • Experience or knowledge of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion principles or willingness to complete DEI training (we provide the training as part of your mandatory training for the position)
  • Exceptional skills in the areas of organization, attention to detail, time management, ability to manage multiple projects, define and set priorities and problem solve.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • Must be able to pass a caregiver criminal background check
  • Must be legally eligible to work in the United States
  • Experience with donor software CRM and online registration systems (i.e., Classy, Kindful, Amilia, etc.) is beneficial, but not required
  • Background in STEM preferred but not required.

KW2’s Andy Wallman retiring after 33 years in advertising

MADISON, Wis.—Andy Wallman, one of Wisconsin’s most beloved advertising leaders and co-owner of KW2, recently announced his retirement after 33 years in the industry and 23 years as a leader at KW2.

“Dr. Seuss once said, ‘Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened,’” said Wallman. “I proud to say that I have professionally achieved what I wanted to over the past three decades. I have a ridiculous amount of stuff to smile about.”

His first priority in retirement: starting to edit his dad’s book which details his WWII and POW experiences.

“Being able to dedicate time to my dad’s story is a lifelong dream of mine. I’m ecstatic that I will finally have time to dig in,” said Wallman.

His retirement from his position as President and Executive Creative Director of KW2, as well as his stepping down as co-owner of the agency was final end of June.

“From the moment Andy started over two decades ago, he has had a tremendous and positive impact that has ultimately shaped KW2 into the values-driven agency we are today,” said Jennifer Savino, KW2 CEO and Co-Owner. “He is in our agency’s DNA and will continue to impact the creative work we do.”

“KW2 is a very special place. The core of our work is helping people, and we do it with a straight-up all-star team,” said Wallman. “There is nothing greater or more satisfying one could ask for in life. I am so proud of what we at KW2 have accomplished, and I know the team will get more and more special over time.”

Although he is retiring from full-time, day-to-day agency duties, Wallman’s passion for creative endeavors and the advertising industry remains. He also looks forward to spending more time with wife Jen and his three daughters, as well as continuing to volunteer for non-profit organizations in Cambridge.

BACKGROUND:
KW2 is a 37-year-old full-service digital and marketing agency with a long history of success in public health, higher education, and business services. We are a Wisconsin and nationally-certified WBE company that tackles some of society’s most challenging issues for leading organizations like The Wisconsin Departments of Health Services, Children and Families, and Natural Resources, as well as The University of Wisconsin, The Wisconsin Technical College System, and First Choice Dental. With a mission of empowering and improving lives, we believe our people grow in a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment where their valued insights and experiences help us build authentic relationships.
