The Chattanooga 2.0 backbone organization supports partners in creating proof points, driving collaboration, measurement, and in the alignment of policy and practice to ensure all children and youth in the county receive a quality education and career opportunities that help them realize their full potential.

Position Overview:

We are looking for a passionate changemaker to join us as the Future Fund Engagement Coordinator! The Chattanooga Future Fund program is an initiative of Chattanooga 2.0 to invest in the bright futures of Hamilton County’s public school students.

With support from the community, students can earn and save even more as they grow, all while learning about money, planning for their futures, and dreaming big.

Our goal? To spark financial confidence along with career curiosity and readiness from an early age, helping students build a strong foundation for success after graduation. When the time

In this role, you will help ensure every child has the support they need – both from their community and financially – to build a strong foundation for their future. You will be at the heart of our work, supporting existing strategies and helping create new, impactful ones.
