The Partnership to Reduce Cancer in Rhode Island (PRCRI) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization operating as the Rhode Island State Cancer Coalition. Our mission is to lead and collaborate on efforts to prevent cancer and improve the quality of life for all Rhode Islanders living with cancer through education, advocacy, and supportive resources.

Working closely with the Comprehensive Cancer Control Program (CCCP) at the Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH), PRCRI supports implementation of the Rhode Island State Cancer Plan—focusing on primary prevention, secondary prevention/screening, survivorship and caregiving, and health equity.

Position Overview

We are seeking an energetic, highly organized, and proactive Coalition Coordinator to support coalition activities, engage community partners, and drive strategies outlined in the RI State Cancer Plan.

As the Coalition Coordinator, you will serve as a primary project manager for coalition initiatives, coordinate work groups, oversee educational and screening programs, lead communications, and plan our Annual Cancer Summit.

Event & Educational Program Coordination

Coordinate planning logistics, theme development, speaker outreach, sponsor/exhibitor recruitment, promotional materials, CEU/CME tracking, and day-of execution for the RI Cancer Summit—the coalition's largest annual event.

Manage monthly, quarterly, and annual educational events including creating marketing materials, managing registration, and compiling evaluation data.

Community Screening & Outreach Programs

Represent PRCRI at monthly community events to distribute educational materials, network, and recruit members.

Communications Strategy

Curate and send the monthly coalition newsletter, write quarterly articles for CURE Magazine, manage organizational email campaigns (~3/month), and schedule social media content (10–15 posts/month).

Ensure consistent messaging across all external communications.

Track and document progress toward RI State Cancer Plan objectives and submit monthly reports to the RIDOH CCCP Program Manager. Participate in weekly update meetings with the Program Manager.

Compile monthly performance reports for the Board of Directors, track program data using Salesforce, manage event registration databases, and respond to general email inquiries.
