Events and Ministry Coordinator (Onsite, Volunteer)

Apartment Life (AL) is a unique organization dedicated to enhancing the apartment living experience by fostering vibrant communities through intentional relationships and events. AL operates within apartment communities around the United States, combining hospitality with business excellence to create a welcoming environment where residents feel cared for and connected. This organization embraces the mission of 'business as a ministry,' focusing on integrating faith-based values with practical outreach and engagement in residential settings.

Apartment Life seeks passionate and mission-minded individuals to fill the role of Events and Ministry Coordinators. These coordinators play a vital part in delivering an excellent Apartment Life experience to both residents and staff. They are responsible for planning, coordinating, and facilitating events and activities that cultivate a sense of community, promote social connections among residents, and provide opportunities to experience genuine care and radical hospitality. The role is entirely volunteer-based and not compensated financially but holds significant intrinsic value through community impact and personal growth.

As an Events and Ministry Coordinator, you will be tasked with hosting two monthly events designed to connect residents and extend care within the apartment community. These events serve as a platform for residents to bond, discover local resources, and engage meaningfully with neighbors. Your role also involves maintaining personal communication with residents and staff, thereby fostering closer relationships and supporting a network of community assistance. Additionally, coordinators contribute to the apartment's online reputation by encouraging residents to share their positive experiences digitally.

Your responsibilities extend beyond event planning to include marketing and communication tasks, such as developing monthly calendars, event flyers, and social media content that effectively promote apartment life activities. You will manage the event budget, prepare monthly summaries of activities, and collaborate closely with staff and program directors for continuous improvement and development. A key aspect of the position includes recruiting and working alongside volunteers, vendors, and community partners to enhance the reach and impact of your events.

Engagement with residents is a critical part of this role. Coordinators visit new residents soon after their move-in to welcome them and also reach out to those approaching the end of their lease. This personalized attention helps solidify residents' connection to the community and supports retention efforts.

Ideal candidates for this position should be at least 18 years old, legally eligible to work in the United States, and possess basic English fluency to handle marketing and reporting duties. A valid driver’s license, liability insurance, and reliable transportation are essential since coordinators often need to travel for event shopping and vendor coordination. The role requires physical stamina to perform various tasks such as standing, bending, lifting up to 25 pounds, and using stairs. Availability mainly during evenings and weekends is necessary, reflecting when most residents are home and able to participate.

Although prior event planning experience, budget management, and social media skills are preferred, applicants with willingness and a supportive network for volunteer engagement are encouraged to apply. There is flexibility in the position with options for onsite coordinators who reside at the community and commit to 12 hours weekly, or offsite coordinators who serve 8-16 hours monthly and receive hourly compensation. Candidates are advised to review the Apartment Life website for a detailed explanation of these roles.

This position offers a meaningful opportunity to impact lives and apartment communities by blending entrepreneurial spirit, ministry, and community enrichment. Serving as an Events and Ministry Coordinator with Apartment Life enables you to make a tangible difference while growing personally and professionally within a supportive faith-based network.
