About The Position

The Events and Ministry Coordinator, internally called Coordinator of Senior Adult Services, serves an apartment community by carrying out Apartment Life’s service plan. In partnership with an Apartment Life supervisor, the coordinator prepares a monthly schedule of events and programming to meet residents’ needs. Programming may include activities for senior adults (55+), welcoming new residents, and acts of care. This is an unpaid role compensated with discounted rent in exchange for living onsite. The coordinator serves approximately 12 hours per week at one Senior Adult location in Apopka, Florida. Some daytime and weekday hours may be needed, while many duties are scheduled for evenings and weekends when residents are home. Applicants with children or minor dependents living at home are not eligible because of age restrictions. The community is for adults aged 55 and older; the coordinator does not need to be in that age group, though a similar stage of life is preferred. A minimum two-year commitment is required.
