About The Position

Our Saviour’s Community Services (OSCS) provides dignified shelter and housing for single adults and basic education classes to adult English language learners in the Phillips Community of South Minneapolis. OSCS takes its name from Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, which founded our programs in the early 1980s. In 2004, we became a legally and financially independent nonprofit. We are not a religious organization. The English Learning Center (ELC) is a program of Our Saviour’s Community Services and a part of the Minneapolis Public Schools Adult Basic Education Consortium. We are a free community-based school for adults, serving roughly 300 English language learners each year. This new Project Coordinator role supports the programming of the English Learning Center and other OSCS programs as necessary, designed to support the continuity of all programs as the organization navigates new leave policies and known and anticipated staffing gaps.
