Build strong relationships with volunteers and help make their JA experience a positive one.
Respond to questions, coordinate details and help schools have a seamless JA experience.
Support program reporting, evaluation and continuous improvement.
You enjoy coordinating details and keeping things moving, but you’re also comfortable standing in front of a group and leading a training session.
Are highly organized and comfortable managing multiple schedules, deadlines and priorities at the same time.
Are a confident and engaging communicator who is comfortable training and presenting to groups of adults.
Enjoy working with volunteers and helping people feel prepared and successful.
Build relationships easily with teachers, volunteers and community partners.
Are tech-savvy and comfortable using Microsoft Office, Teams, Zoom and databases; Salesforce experience is an asset.
Have reliable transportation to travel within the Greater Edmonton Area.
At JA Northern Alberta, the work you coordinate directly helps young people build skills and discover what’s possible.
Help create great learning experiences for thousands of young people.
