Duties include administrative responsibilities like registration management, attendance tracking, document preparation, and grant reporting. The Coordinator also maintains the Grouptrail database, ensuring accurate participant intake and data tracking. This position requires flexibility to work after-school hours, occasional evenings, summer hours, and potential travel for trainings or community meetings.

Candidates will benefit from working in a vibrant, community-focused environment with continuous growth opportunities, contributing to profound social impact and community wellness.
