Social Coordinator

Job Type: Full-time, exempt


Location: Monterey, CA


Salary: $70,400

Work Environment: In-person, community-based and office-based settings


Transportation: Requires transporting students to approved program-related activities


Are You Looking for a Leadership Role Focused on Social Skill Development?


At College Living Experience (CLE), social growth isn't taught through worksheets or lectures. It happens in apartments, coffee shops, college campuses, community events, restaurants, hiking trails, and countless everyday moments where relationships are formed and confidence is built.

As a Social Coordinator, you'll help students discover what connection, belonging, and independence look like for neurodiverse students. You'll create opportunities for students to step outside their comfort zones, try new experiences, develop meaningful relationships, and gain the skills that improve quality of life long after they leave our program.

We are looking for someone with creativity, initiative, and positive energy to create engaging experiences for young adults with learning differences. Someone who enjoys bringing people together and isn't afraid to turn an idea into an experience. Maybe you're passionate about music, sports, gaming, fitness, art, theater, outdoor recreation, volunteerism, or community engagement. You will have the chance to assess students and build community around new interests, build confidence, and expand their social world.

This role blends leadership, teamwork, mentorship, and hands-on coaching. This role is responsible for supervising a team, facilitating groups and generating goal driven opportunities for students.


The impact is real and visible. You'll witness students develop friendships, strengthen communication skills, navigate relationships, advocate for themselves, and become more engaged members of their communities. Many of the moments you'll help create become milestones students and families remember for years.
