About The Position

This is a volunteer position compensated by discounted rent for living onsite at the community. The Events and Ministry Coordinator, internally called Coordinator of Senior Adult Services, will be responsible for executing the service plan of Apartment Life.

Programming includes hosting events and resident activities for Senior Adults (55+), welcoming new residents, and performing acts of care. The role requires availability during the work week, with some events potentially occurring during the day.
