Events and Ministry Coordinator (Onsite, Volunteer)

Apartment Life is a mission-driven organization focused on creating vibrant, welcoming communities within apartment complexes. This organization blends the principles of business with ministry, emphasizing radical hospitality, genuine care, and exceptional communication to foster positive relationships among residents and staff. Apartment Life coordinators play a vital role in enriching the experience of apartment residents by connecting them to one another and to the broader community. Through consistently excellent, engaging events and personalized outreach, coordinators impact residents’ lives by cultivating a supportive, inclusive environment that reflects the organization's commitment to serving others with unconditional love.

This position is a volunteer, non-paid role designed for individuals passionate about community building and ministry. The role is ideal for mission-minded, highly relational, and responsible individuals who enjoy meeting new people, planning social activities, and serving others through hands-on assistance and leadership. Coordinators help to execute the vision and mission of Apartment Life by organizing and hosting meaningful events, providing personal connection, and utilizing acts of care to foster a positive living experience for apartment residents. The role combines business excellence with a ministry heart, as coordinators help to strengthen community ties and encourage residents to engage with local resources and one another.

Coordinators are responsible for planning and hosting two events each month aimed at caring for and connecting residents with each other and the larger community. These events serve as opportunities for residents to meet, build friendships, and access services or local businesses. In addition to event planning, coordinators provide individualized care and support to residents and staff by building relationships and fostering a sense of belonging. They use marketing tools including social media, flyers, and calendars to promote activities and enhance the online reputation of the apartment community. Coordinators manage event budgets, prepare monthly event summaries, and collaborate with property management and community partners to maximize the program’s impact.

The role requires a weekly commitment of approximately 12 hours, primarily during evenings and weekends, when most residents are home and available to engage. Coordinators must be able to commit to a minimum two-year term, demonstrating dedication to sustaining long-term community development. Physical abilities necessary for the job include the capability to climb stairs, bend, sit, stand, stoop, and carry items up to 25 pounds. The position also entails visiting new residents soon after they move in and reaching out to those nearing the end of their lease to maintain ongoing connections.

This role provides an excellent opportunity for individuals looking to integrate their faith with practical community service, enabling them to connect residents through well-planned social events and acts of hospitality. While prior event planning experience, budget management, and social media skills are preferred, the most critical attributes are a heart for ministry, strong interpersonal skills, and a passion for creating welcoming and supportive community spaces. Volunteer coordinators gain valuable experience in leadership, event management, community outreach, and ministry, all while contributing positively to the lives of apartment residents.
