Reporting to the Program Director, and working with the program staff, this position combines scheduling, communications, and administrative responsibilities. Success in this role requires someone who enjoys creating systems, tracking many moving pieces, communicating clearly with colleagues, and ensuring projects stay on schedule from start to finish. The ideal candidate is highly organized, technologically savvy, comfortable managing multiple projects simultaneously, and excited to contribute to a growing nonprofit dedicated to youth, creativity, and community.

We are a tight-knit organization that values hard work, attention to detail, good communication, and a positive, proactive attitude. This is a part-time, hybrid position. Most administrative work may be completed remotely. However, the position requires regular in-person workdays at our Washington Heights program center, as well as occasional evening and weekend availability for workshops and community events.
