More than 50,000 students are enrolled at one of eight institutions, including the research campus in Columbia and comprehensive four-year universities in Aiken, Upstate and Beaufort.

All of our system institutions place strong emphasis on service - helping to build healthier, more educated communities in South Carolina and beyond.

Advertised Job Summary

Are you energized by meaningful work that strengthens communities and improves outcomes for youth and families? Do you enjoy being on the move, building relationships, and supporting a team that is preparing professionals and caregivers to make a real difference in youth justice?

The Childrens Law Center is seeking a dynamic and highly organized Training Program Assistant who is excited about both purpose-driven work and the flexibility of travel. This position requires frequent travel throughout Midland Counties, including Chester, Fairfield, Lancaster, and Richland Counties, with occasional travel to other areas across South Carolina. You will travel independently and at times alongside the Program Manager and training team members to support statewide juvenile justice initiatives. Regular travel to the Columbia office for coordination, administrative training, and event support is also expected.

The ideal candidate can blend traditional administrative excellence with creative communication skills. You may document the impact of our work through detailed meeting notes, organized training records, thoughtful follow-up communication, or even assisting with social media content that highlights the meaningful work being done across communities. Your attention to detail will help ensure training runs smoothly, evaluations are captured, materials are prepared, and stakeholders stay informed and engaged.

If you are organized, adaptable, mission-driven, and ready to contribute to a team that is making a measurable impact across South Carolina, we encourage you to apply. This is more than an administrative role; it is an opportunity to be part of meaningful statewide change.

Reliable transportation is required.

Required Education and Experience

• Prefer experience assisting with the planning and coordination of meetings, trainings, and events, including both virtual and in-person activities.
• The individual should be able to use Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word to organize information, track activities, and prepare materials; be comfortable with technology and online platforms; and quickly learn new systems and tools.
• Familiarity with social media platforms and the ability to provide basic content support are a plus.

Knowledge/Skills/Abilities

• Strong organizational, communication, and time-management skills with attention to detail are essential.
• Must be able to communicate effectively and courteously with staff, trainees, vendors and perform basic mathematical computations.
