Associate Art Director; Volunteer – Hybrid Social Impact

The Loop Roots Foundation is a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization dedicated to supporting justice-impacted families through transportation, therapy, and technology-driven programs. Our mission is to remove the physical, financial, and emotional barriers that prevent families from maintaining meaningful connections with incarcerated loved ones, accessing mental health care, or navigating reentry. Founded in 2025, the Loop Roots Foundation operates nationally, with an initial focus on underserved communities in Maryland, Arizona, Pennsylvania, New Mexico, California, and Virginia.

• Loop Connect – a ride credit sponsorship platform that provides free or subsidized rides to prison visitation facilities, allowing families to stay in contact during incarceration.
• Loop Talk – a HIPAA-compliant virtual therapy program offering trauma‑informed mental health care to justice‑impacted individuals and caregivers, including children.
• Loop Troop Rideshare Partnership – we collaborate with the Loop Troop Rideshare platform to ensure families have access to safe, reliable, and culturally competent transportation services.

The Loop Roots Foundation is committed to using community‑based, technology‑enabled tools to restore dignity, promote healing, and reduce generational harm. All of our programs are offered without discrimination to build a truly supportive ecosystem for families across the U.S.

Loop Roots Foundation and its tech partner Loop Troop Inc. are part of a growing social‑impact ecosystem dedicated to improving access to transportation, housing, food, and wellness for families impacted by incarceration and poverty. Our team blends creativity, innovation, and compassion to design solutions that drive equity and connection across communities.

• Support creative reviews, presentations, and project management within Zoho and Canva/Figma.
• Maintain brand consistency while innovating design solutions that reflect Loop’s mission.

• Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design, Fine Arts, Visual Communication, or related field (or equivalent experience).
