Environmental Program Coordinators often encounter challenges such as gaining buy-in from stakeholders, navigating regulatory requirements, and balancing limited resources with ambitious sustainability goals. Coordinators must communicate the value of environmental initiatives effectively to both internal teams and external partners, often requiring negotiation and compromise. Success in this role often depends on strong project management skills and the ability to adapt plans in response to shifting priorities or unforeseen obstacles.

We seek members who contribute to DREAM's diverse community, as having different perspectives, identities, and skills are what allow us to excel in our service. DREAM seeks members who are ready to engage in and foster an inclusive environment, and who strive to deliver culturally appropriate and relevant programming to the youth we serve.

  • You will be responsible for attending your chapter's weekly Village Mentoring program.

  • Mentor Coordinators are expected to attend a weekly experience/support meeting with the teams you are a part of.
  • Mentor coordinators should expect to serve for the entirety of the academic year.

Compensation and DREAM AmeriCorps Benefits:
