Community Opportunity

Community Coordinators play a vital role in bringing the community together and serve as the link between resources and residents. For residents to learn about and take full advantage of the provided resources, they require the assistance of a trusted and dedicated coordinator.

Community Coordinators

To ensure the effectiveness of each community, choosing the right community coordinator is important. The following criteria are minimum requirements for our Community Coordinators:

• Available for full time employment

• A minimum of 2 years of experience in community coordination

• Strong background in case management

• A history of empathy and passion to make a difference

• Permanent funding

Community Coordinators are funded permanently and predictably by Center for Greater Good through cash flow generated by the project rather than relying on multiple grants over time, so resources are available to allow the Community Coordinator to focus on and serve the community residents.

Budget for Outreach

Community Coordinators play a vital role in bringing all the community resources together and making it available for the residents to use to the fullest potential. In addition to their salary, funding for use by the Community Coordinator will be available from Center for the Greater Good using the cash-flow of the property. The Community Coordinator will use the available funding as leverage to bring together the non-profits’, small businesses’ and residents’ participation.

Case management and Integrated services

Serve as the single point contact, the Community Coordinator is available to residents with any problem – simple or complex. They will work with the resident to address their issue with an appropriate integrated solution.

In conjunction with public agencies and non profits, using the funding as leverage, Community Coordinators can accomplish goals beyond what they can accomplish individually. In addition to managing the administration of programs, they will also be tracking and measuring their progress and efficacy. Using these measurements, they will be designing and revising programs in order to meet and exceed the outcome goals.
