Revitalize CDC is seeking a qualified candidate to support the development and implementation of community programs in focus neighborhoods. The Program Support will support two complementary initiatives aimed at improving environmental and public health outcomes in environmental justice neighborhoods of Chicopee and Holyoke. Through the DCR Greening the Gateway Cities Program (GGCP), the position assists with expanding the urban tree canopy to reduce energy use, mitigate heat islands, and enhance neighborhood livability. Simultaneously, under the Mass Save Community Education Grant, the role promotes energy efficiency awareness, connects residents to weatherization and energy retrofit programs, and helps track outreach impacts. Furthermore, support for the annual #GreenNFit Neighborhood Rebuild consists of supporting the Neighborhood Sustainability team in outreach to the community, collecting eligibility documentation and coordinating the annual volunteer event. This hands-on role bridges fieldwork, outreach, and education, helping residents understand how trees and energy efficiency work together to create healthier, more sustainable homes and communities. This role is expected to continue over time, with responsibilities evolving as individual grants conclude and new programs begin.
