Hope Bravely is a small U.S. nonprofit that supports Ukrainian single mothers and caregivers who want to build an independent life. We offer help with micro business startups, rent assistance during a job search or transition, and education funding. This program is still being built, and we're learning what works. We need someone to learn with us.
This role is the heart of the program. You are the person in Ukraine who finds women who are ready, builds relationships with the shelters that may serve them, interviews and supports participants, and helps us figure out what's working and what needs to change.

Who You Are
To love this role, here's the type of person you are:
- You care about the people you're working with, and you know how to show up for them and help them believe they can do more.
- You're the kind of person who figures things out. If something isn't working, you learn more, ask questions, or try a different way.
- You're comfortable speaking honestly. If you think a plan won't work, you'll say so and suggest something better.
- You don't need someone to watch over you. You said you'd do it, so you do it.
- You enjoy learning new things.
- You're okay being part of something that's still being built. You don't need everything figured out to do good work.
- You enjoy building relationships. You're warm, trustworthy, and people open up to you.
- You know when to flag a problem and when to just handle it.
- Even when no one's watching, you do the right thing.
The Work
Common Responsibilities Include (but Are Not Limited To)
Find women who are ready for a change
Talk and listen for those who have a dream but feel stuck, and tell them about Hope Bravely. Help them understand that support is possible, and encourage them to apply. Not every woman is the right fit. You'll help us find the ones who are ready.
Build a referral network
Build working relationships with shelter managers, other NGOs, and community contacts who may know women who could be a strong candidate. The wider your network, the more people we can reach. This is one of our most important paths to finding the right participants.
Interview applicants
Conduct short interviews (15–30 minutes) to understand each person's goals, situation, and readiness. Help us make good decisions about who we accept. Understand the roadblocks standing in their way. Not every problem is one we can solve.
Onboard approved participants
Guide participants through the process of applying, getting started, and using the Hope Bravely app as needed (app.hopebravely.org).
Support active participants
Check in monthly with women we're supporting. Submit written summaries so we can track their progress. Communicate proactively with the director about participant concerns, operational blockers, or anything that needs a decision.
Handle logistics for micro business participants
Source and purchase equipment, coordinate delivery personally or through Nova Poshta, and maintain accurate records of participants, equipment, and all receipts within a 7-day window.
Help us improve
We're still figuring out what works. If you see a better way to do something, tell us. Your observations and ideas matter.
