Administrative & Outreach Coordinator

The Strides Collective, a non-profit queer theatre company in Philadelphia, is seeking applicants for Administrative & Outreach Coordinator.

ABOUT US: Founded in 2020, The Strides Collective produces and develops theatrical work by emerging playwrights that embraces the queer experience through authentic, modern, and innovative storytelling. Our work prioritizes the goal of normalizing the conversation about queer identity, creating a safe haven in which emerging artists can tell their stories without fear of judgment. 

Since our inception, we have fully produced three world premiere queer plays at venues across Philadelphia, including Arden Theatre Company’s Studio Theatre and The Christ Church Neighborhood House. Additionally, each season we focus on new play development through readings, workshops, and cohorts for emerging playwrights. Playwrights who have partnered with Strides have gone on to work with such places as New York University, The Kennedy Center, The Eugene O’Neill Theater Center, Powerhouse Theater at Vassar College, and Primary Stages.

OPPORTUNITY: The Strides Collective is composed of Collective Members who perform administrative, producerial, and artistic duties for the company. We are looking for an individual to fill a new role in our Collective that focuses on administrative support for grant prospecting, organization, and financial management. 

We anticipate this role will have an average of 1-3 hours of work per week. While meetings are conducted remotely, we will only be accepting applications from those individuals who reside in the Greater Philadelphia Area. All Collective members must attend all in-person Collective events during the season. 

Transparency is one of our core values; as such, we want to state upfront that all Collective members are currently volunteers who receive a small stipend (between $100-$500) per 12-month term. We deeply value our members' time and passion; as a Collective, we all assist each other to create a safe and healthy working environment.  We recognize that the requirements of this opportunity may not be a fit for everyone. We are working towards more robust financial compensation in the future. 

This position will receive a stipend of $500 for a 12-month term. Anticipated start date is November 1, 2025.
