Job descriptionIn 1922, Woodcraft Rangers opened its doors in Los Angeles and began its mission of guiding young people as they explore pathways to purposeful lives. As a progressive organization, Woodcraft has always been responsive to the evolving needs of the communities served, and is notably inclusive, youth-led, and rooted in the Woodcraft Way, a holistic framework that develops body, mind, spirit, and service. Continuously at the forefront of expanded learning opportunities, Woodcraft Rangers has a rich history of making a significant impact in the greater Los Angeles area, believing that all youth are innately good, deserve the opportunity to realize their full potential, and should be an active participant in defining their own path. Woodcraft Rangers provides TK-12 expanded learning programs, including before and after school, specialty enrichment, and summer learning. In the past few years, Woodcraft has expanded its menu of services beyond traditional afterschool programs and summer camps to include early learning, environmental and social justice, college access, and inclusion services for youth with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Additionally, we offer Lifecraft, a college and career advancement program to support the development of approximately 1,000 staff. The ideal candidate is a highly organized, proactive planner who thrives in a creative, fast-paced environment. You’re the kind of person who keeps teams moving, details tracked, and deadlines met—without losing sight of the creative vision. You understand how to translate ideas into actionable project plans, and you’re equally comfortable talking timelines with leadership and file specs with videographers. You take pride in clear communication, thoughtful coordination, and ensuring every deliverable is on-brand, on-budget, and on-time.

Facilitate translation of content into multiple languages (including Spanish, Mandarin, and Armenian, as needed); coordinate with vendors or contractors to ensure accuracy, cultural responsiveness, and timely delivery of translated materials. Manage post-production workflows : approvals, captioning / subtitles, file encoding, distribution, and archival.
