The part-time Program Coordinator will develop and help manage the start-up AmeriCorps Health Literacy program.  This program builds on Project SHINE’s existing model to increase the health communication skills and  healthy aging practices of immigrant and refugee elders and their families.  Intergenerational teams of college students, retired health professionals and older immigrants and refugees will work together in three cities across the nation through this program. Reporting to the Assistant Director of SHINE, the program coordinator will be responsible for the day to day management of the local program in Philadelphia, including recruitment, training, on-going support of intergenerational teams of AmeriCorps members and leveraged volunteers, data collection and record keeping of the volunteers and their activities and maintaining partnerships with community organizations.  Duties include site visits, program coordination, member supervision and trouble shooting. Program coordinator will also work in collaboration with SHINE’s staff team (including VISTA volunteers) to support national program operations and develop best practices.
