Community-Based Work Study Programs

Are you interested in a community-based work study program? If so, Christ Church Tashua has some opportunities for you!

Currently, we are focusing on two areas for growth in our parish community — content creation for social media platforms and programs and activities for families with young children. If this sounds like something that would enhance your academic goals, we’d love to talk with you!

Take a look at both opportunities below and if you’d like to talk with us, please contact the parish office via email: info@christchurchtrumbull.org or by phone: 203-268-5566. We’d love to hear from you!

Program Coordinator for Families with Children

 We are looking for assistance in with creating programs for families with young children. This would be a “ground up” exercise to assist in re-building our children’s ministries and activities. This would include advertising and registering families for these programs as well as help with organizing infant/toddler childcare as well as Christian education for ages Pre-K through 5th Grade. Both childcare and church school would be offered weekly on Sundays at 10am for approximately 40 minutes. Children then re-join their parents/families for the Eucharist portion of the service in the Church Sanctuary. Assistance with organizing seasonal children’s activities and events would be greatly welcomed.

This assignment is open to more than one person, not necessarily an Education Major or Minor, and is an opportunity to inspire and nurture young minds. We can offer curriculum materials and guidance from our Christian Formation Team. While membership in the Episcopal Church is not necessarily a requirement of this position, successful applicants would  be required to take an online course in “Safe Church’ offered by the Episcopal Diocese of CT. This is a 3 hour training.

Social Media/PR Manager

 We are looking for assistance with keeping our church’s website and Social Media content current. Typically this would be an ideal assignment for a Media/Communications or Marketing Major. The successful applicant would work in collaboration with our Priest, Parish Administrator & Vestry members responsible for Worship, Fellowship and Fundraising. Responsibilities would include:

  1. Content Strategy & Creation: Develop and implement social media content strategies to increase awareness and community engagement, creating timely and engaging posts optimized for Instagram + Facebook
  2. Campaign Management: Plan and execute PR and social media campaigns/activations that align with the church’s objectives, which are primarily to be a meaningful presence in the Trumbull community.
  3. Community Engagement & Monitoring: Post content, respond to comments and messages, and perform social listening to understand public perception.
  4. Media & Influencer Relations: Assist with public relations efforts, including preparing press materials and working with media outlets and influencers to amplify the church’s message.
  5. Data Analysis: Analyze social media data to draw conclusions about content performance and adjust strategies accordingly.
  6. Trend Research: Stay up to date with the latest social media platforms, trends, and content ideas to keep the church relevant.
