LIFT JAX OVERVIEW

LIFT JAX is an initiative of business and community leaders working to eradicate generational poverty in Jacksonville. The seeds for LIFT JAX were planted in 2017, when a group of Jacksonville’s business and community leaders convened to plot a path to eliminate poverty in the city.

The flagship strategy of LIFT JAX is the implementation of the Purpose Built Communities model in Jacksonville’s Eastside. The nationally recognized model is based on the successful holistic revitalization of Atlanta’s East Lake neighborhood. The approach requires coordinated implementation of four strategies within a clearly defined neighborhood: (1) mixed-income housing; (2) cradle-to-college-and-career education pipeline; (3) community wellness; and (4) long-term financial vitality. Because of the complex nature of this cross-sector work, the establishment of a single purpose nonprofit Community Quarterback is the most critical component of a successful Purpose Built Communities revitalization initiative. LIFT JAX – which is representative of leaders from the Eastside, the business community, as well as nonprofit and philanthropic partners – serves as the Community Quarterback.

COMPENSATION

This is a part-time role, up to $30,000 annually.
