Community Engagement Coordinator

Sylvan Learning – Round Rock

Reports to: Owner

Status: Part-Time, Hourly $18-$20, Negotiable

Location: Round Rock, TX (regular travel throughout Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, and Hutto)

About the Role

Sylvan Learning of Round Rock is looking for a Community Engagement Coordinator to become the face of our brand throughout Round Rock and the surrounding communities. This role exists to make sure Sylvan is visible, connected, and top-of-mind wherever local families are — at school events, farmers markets, community gatherings, and through strong relationships with schools, PTAs, and local businesses.

Simply put: when a parent in our area starts thinking about tutoring, test prep, or academic support, we want them to think of Sylvan first — and this role is what makes that happen.

This position reports directly to the owner and works closely and collaboratively with Center Directors to align outreach efforts with enrollment goals and center capacity.

Looking ahead: As Sylvan expands into additional locations — including our upcoming Cedar Park center —this role may grow to include community engagement responsibilities across multiple centers. We're looking for someone who's excited about that growth trajectory, not just the Round Rock launch.

What You'll Do

• Identify and prioritize local events, sponsorships, and partnership opportunities worth Sylvan's time and investment — and pass on the ones that aren't a fit
• Represent Sylvan at farmers markets, school events, community fairs, and other local gatherings — set up, table, and engage with families directly
• Build and maintain relationships with area school districts, individual schools, PTAs/PTOs, and other local organizations
• Develop connections with complementary local businesses for cross-promotion and referral opportunities
• Act as a visible, approachable brand ambassador who reflects Sylvan's values in every interaction
• Track community engagement activity and outcomes, reporting regularly to the owner
• Collaborate with Center Directors to ensure outreach efforts support real enrollment needs and center goals
• Help plan and execute grand opening and seasonal marketing events

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of relevant experience in community outreach, event marketing, business development, or a similar field — no degree required
• Strong, existing knowledge of Round Rock and surrounding areas, including Cedar Park, Georgetown, and Hutto
• Comfortable and energized by face-to-face engagement — tabling, networking, and public-facing events are a regular part of this role
• Existing relationships with local schools, districts, or community organizations are a strong plus
• Self-starter who can independently judge which opportunities are worth pursuing
• Reliable transportation and flexibility to work some evenings and weekends around events
• Excellent communication skills and a genuine passion for education and community

Schedule

Part-time, hourly. Hours will vary based on the local event calendar, with regular evening and weekend commitments expected around community events, markets, and school functions.

Pay: $18.00 - $20.00 per hour
