    Description

    About the Role:

    The Warehouse Worker Resource Center (WWRC) is seeking a Program Coordinator on behalf of the Los Angeles Worker Center Network (LAWCN), a fiscally sponsored project of the WWRC, to lead and manage a dynamic, County-funded initiative focused on protecting low-wage and immigrant workers from labor violations, wage theft, and exploitation. While the Program Coordinator’s primary responsibility will be to coordinate and implement the DCBA Outreach & Education contract, the position will also play a key role across LAWCN’s broader programmatic priorities, including wage theft enforcement (OWS), network-wide strategy, campaign support, and worker center engagement.

    This is a unique opportunity for a mission-driven organizer, advocate, or program manager who thrives in fast-paced, collaborative environments and wants to build power for historically marginalized workers across Los Angeles.

    Core Responsibilities -

    DCBA Contract Execution

     Lead implementation of outreach and education deliverables under the DCBA contract.

     Coordinate with LAWCN staff, member organizations, and partner groups to meet

    program milestones.

     Conduct or support outreach to employers and workers in high-risk industries, sharing

    “Know Your Rights” materials and conducting educational conversations.

     Track data and prepare reports for funders and internal use.

    Network Program Support

     Support LAWCN staff and member worker centers in coordinating wage theft advocacy,

    legal partnerships, and OWS enforcement priorities.

     Assist with planning and execution of network-wide campaigns, trainings, and

    convenings.

     Contribute to the development and maintenance of strategic partnerships with labor

    agencies, community groups, and legal aid organizations.

    Organizational Engagement & Events

     Support fieldwork, town halls, and public events advancing LAWCN’s mission and

    visibility.

     Collaborate on content creation, multilingual materials, and community education tools.

     Provide coordination support during emergency rapid response moments (e.g., ICE raids,

    wage theft crackdowns).

    Preferred Qualifications

     3+ years experience in program coordination, community outreach, or worker organizing.

     Demonstrated experience working with immigrant or low-wage workers.

     Knowledge of California labor law, wage theft, and/or anti-trafficking protections.

     Strong project management and communication skills, with attention to deadlines and

    detail.

     Bilingual in English and Spanish preferred (Tagalog, Korean, Mandarin, and yes,

    Klingon, also welcome).

     Ability to work flexible hours, including some evenings and weekends.

     Access to reliable transportation for field-based activities across Los Angeles County.
