Who We Are

• Prepare and submit interim and annual grant reports as required.
• Establish and maintain effective working relationships with community partners, stakeholders, DRP staff, and community members.
• Assist in maintaining organization-wide quality standards.
• Demonstrate the ability to work independently while contributing effectively as a team member.
• Promote DRP’s vision, mission, values, and services to participants, staff, and stakeholders.
• Ensure all actions, job performance, personal conduct, and communications reflect a high level of professionalism.
• Maintain a safe and clean work environment.
• Perform other duties as requested or assigned.
