Community Development Coordinator

About the Organization

Canal Alliance exists to break the generational cycle of poverty for Latino immigrants and their families by lifting barriers to their success.

Every day, we work to educate, empower and support motivated immigrants to better meet their needs—from feeding their families and advancing their education, to learning English and becoming American citizens. Canal Alliance strives for a trauma-informed approach and inclusive culture. We invest in high quality services, professional development and work-life balance.

The Community Development Coordinator will support Canal Alliance’s new neighborhood planning initiative, Nuestro Canal, Nuestro Futuro.
