Bookkeeper Job Description

P.S. I Love You Foundation, founded in 1998, is a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to nurturing at-risk children in underserved areas of Los Angeles. We promote positive youth development through during-school enrichment programs and inspirational community outreach events.

We partner with Title 1 schools, shelters, family support agencies and other non-profits to reach about 700 children each year.  We have operated as a volunteer-run organization over 12 years and people like you make it possible for us to do much more than we otherwise could, toward our mission of helping at-risk kids lead better lives.
