The Program & Events Coordinator develops, organizes, promotes, and leads recreational, fitness, wellness, educational, social, and special event programming for older adults.

• Has the creativity to develop new programs and events.
• Is comfortable trying new ideas and building programs from the ground up.
• Can build strong relationships with participants, volunteers, instructors, community organizations, and local businesses.
• Is organized and able to balance programming, events, communication, and administrative responsibilities.
• Has an interest or background in recreation, fitness, athletics, wellness, education, events, human services, or a related field.

Candidates must be at least 18 years old. A valid Wisconsin driver's license is required. Food Safety Certification must be obtained within 30 days of hire.

Computer skills should include familiarity with Microsoft Office, Gmail, Google Calendar, social media, and basic promotional design tools such as Canva.
