Marketing & Development Manager (32 hours per week)

Founded in 2017, Bloom360 Learning Community is an innovative, 501(c)-3 nonprofit in East Troy, WI offering three programs for neurodivergent individuals and parents/caregivers: 1) Day School that serves Learners, ages 5-21; 2) Roots Program – serving ages 5 to adult; and 3) Community Workshops serving families, caregivers and professionals. We are looking to grow our reach and impact and are seeking an individual to assist with and lead aspects of our marketing, event and communications efforts. We’ve created a unique whole person educational model with a focus on human development, relationships, and strengths. We support and nurture growth for each Learner’s developmental uniqueness. Our goal is to help our Learners bloom into the best version of themselves.

Our school uses a project-based curriculum as our main method of teaching and learning and a developmental framework to assess social/emotional capacity and academic readiness. This learner-centered approach helps the child grow through active exploration through interest-driven, hands-on projects and activities that allow practice in real-world skills and challenges. Each year, Bloom360 Learners average 15% growth toward their individualized social-emotional goals and complete numerous individual and group projects/activities that meet state academic standards.  Our team of Learning Guides (i.e., teachers, therapists) is dynamic, heart-centered, and willing to go the extra mile for the Learners and each other. Our environment is a beautifully renovated historic schoolhouse with a large addition, which creates a 10,000 square foot state-of-the art center that includes a sensory gym, makerspace, full kitchen, large multi-purpose space with aerial yoga swings, project lab, lounge and several learning pods that serve as smaller classroom-like spaces for individual and small group project work.

Bloom360 is uniquely supported by its partnership with Vista360, LLC, a financial services consulting firm, managed and led by Bloom360’s founder.  This unique partnership provides opportunities that would not otherwise be possible for a non-profit organization.  For more information about this partnership, please visit vista360llc.com/community-involvement.
