Job Description

(Job located in Fort Worth)

YouthBuild AmeriCorps Coordinator

CLC, Inc. YouthBuild Fort Worth gives young adults ages 16–24 a path forward. Participants earn their high school credential while training in the construction trades, building affordable housing in their own community, and serving as AmeriCorps members. Most arrive carrying real obstacles: an interrupted education, unstable housing, a justice record, a young child at home, no transportation, no work history anyone will credit. Those barriers are the reason the program exists, not an exception to it. They leave with academic GED/HSE, industry credentials, an education award, and a crew that had their back.

Position Summary

We’re looking for someone who is comfortable with work boots and equally comfortable with data entry and tracking. As the YouthBuild AmeriCorps Coordinator, you’ll spend a good part of your week on worksites and service projects alongside our participants. You will help supervise, keep people safe, and set the tone for how work gets done. The rest of your week goes to the behind-the-scenes work that makes national service possible: lining up community service projects, tracking service hours, and keeping records accurate.

Essential Duties

Worksite supervision support. Assists trade instructors in supervising participants on housing construction and rehabilitation sites. Conducts daily safety briefings, verifies personal protective equipment, and monitors jobsite conditions and conduct.

Community service project coordination. Identifies and develops service projects with neighborhood associations, nonprofits, faith organizations, and municipal departments. Scopes project work, maintains site agreements, and coordinates logistics, materials, and supervision coverage.

Service hour tracking and verification. Maintains accurate records of participant and member service hours. Reviews and verifies timesheets, reconciles discrepancies against attendance records, and monitors members' progress toward their term of service.

Data entry and reporting. Enters and maintains participant and member records in Salesforce and the AmeriCorps portal. Processes enrollments and exits, performs data quality checks, and supports periodic reporting to funders.

Participant support and referral. Reinforces attendance, punctuality, and professional conduct expectations. Identifies participants experiencing barriers to completion and refers them to case management and support staff.

Program-wide support. Assists with recruitment activities, orientation, leadership development, graduation, and other program events as assigned.
