Agency/Program Description

Mosaic West Sac provides safe space and supportive services to those impacted by traumas such as homelessness, poverty, behavioral-health struggles, and domestic violence. We are committed to the principles of restorative community across all of our programming, leading with empathy, inclusion and trusted-messenger activities.

This Program Coordinator position comes with responsibilities in two of our most unique programs: the Recovery Cafe, a daily safe space for growth and belonging, and Community Tables, a food-distribution pipeline that reaches to low-income corners of West Sacramento. Working cohesively as part of an agile and caring team, this individual will exemplify trauma-informed characteristics while planning, creating, coordinating and problem-solving across the numerous logistical needs of the programs.

This position opening is part of a tremendous growth season for Mosaic West Sac. As our programs are expanding rapidly, so too is a 2-acre campus of services - the Mosaic Village - that currently features active construction projects to provide housing, a new commercial kitchen, and a new Recovery Cafe building. We’re looking for very unique team members with a unique blend of passion for our people, ability to work alongside them, and the competence to deliver for them.

Characteristics and Qualifications:

  • Empathy and compassion for our target population, and earnest desire to see these individuals cared for.

  • Strong communication skills.

  • Organizational and multi-tasking skills.

  • Ability to work in, build and lead small teams.

  • Ability to coordinate with partners, vendors, and other program stakeholders

  • Ability to plan and ideate helpful programming for our clients.

  • Self-starter with situational agility and a readiness to take on different roles and responsibilities as needed.

  • Problem-solving initiative.

  • Ability to lift up to 20 pounds above your head.

  • Valid California driver’s license. Vehicle not required.

  • Bachelors degree preferred.

Responsibilities:

  • Collaborate with the Recovery Cafe Director on the planning and execution of daily cafe programming and special events.

  • Under the direction of the cafe director, manage the daily function of the cafe, including setup, closure, and supervision of volunteers and interns.

  • Work with community partners to schedule and coordinate regular Community Tables pop-up meal events at sites around the City. The Program Coordinator will act as the lead for these events and the most visible face in these trusted-messenger activities.

  • Help create and monitor an expanding food-generator network, collaborating with other Mosaic staff in recovering edible food from local grocery stores, school districts and restaurants and coordinating these resources for redistribution.

  • In both programs, help train and supervise paid interns from our JAM Academy workforce development program. Drawn from our priority population, JAM interns help with a variety of tasks while learning soft job skills, life skills, and leadership skills.

  • In both programs, help implement and monitor best mental-health and safety practices.

Please submit both 1) a resume and 2) a Mosaic West Sac job application to Executive Director, Don Bosley @ Don@mosaicwestsac.org. position open until filled.
