At The Jacob Center, we believe that healing happens in community. We're looking for a relationship-driven Community Outreach Coordinator to connect families with the resources, training, and support they need. THE OPPORTUNITY: This is a hybrid role for someone who wants both the reach of community-facing outreach work and the satisfaction of direct family support. You'll split your time between building community and family-facing partnerships (0.75 FTE) and providing hands-on, TBRI®-informed coaching to families and youth (0.25 FTE). WHAT YOU'LL DO: Community Outreach & Partnerships (0.75 FTE) Recruit and enroll caregivers and families into TBRI® Caregiver Series trainings and other agency programs. Coordinate program onboarding for families and community partners accessing TBRI®, ensuring timely follow-up and connection to services.

Expect a full-time (approximately 40 hours/week) schedule with occasional evenings and weekends for community events and family scheduling needs.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS: Bilingual (Spanish/English). Familiarity with the child welfare, foster care, juvenile justice, or housing instability service systems. YOU'LL THRIVE HERE IF YOU: Enjoy being out in the community rather than behind a desk all day. Like connecting people to resources and following through until the connection actually happens. Can hold both the relational side of the work (meeting people where they are) and the administrative side (accurate records, timely reporting). Move comfortably between big-picture partnership building and hands‑on, one‑on‑one family coaching.
