Boulder Shelter for the Homeless, Boulder, Colorado, United States, 80301


Assistant Director of Development

All Roads (formerly Boulder Shelter for the Homeless) has been a fixture in the community since 1982, providing a bed, meals, services, and a bit of dignity to those experiencing homelessness in our community. Today, our mission is to create avenues to stable housing for our community’s homeless adults, from a foundation of supportive and safe shelter. All Roads has a strong culture of collaboration, communication, compassion, dignity, and support, which yields an inclusive and engaging dynamic within the organization.

All Roads is seeking a creative, confident, detail-oriented individual to serve as the lead staff member on a variety of major donor fundraising functions, as assigned by the Chief Development and Communications Officer (CDCO).
