Outreach Coordinator - Remote in NYC

Location: Remote with a preference for New York City; availability required for travel across the five boroughs

About Bricks & Mortals

Bricks & Mortals is a nonprofit membership organization that helps faith-based organizations access the knowledge, relationships, resources, and expertise they need to steward their real estate in service of their missions and communities. We support congregations of all denominations that are facing changing needs, aging properties, financial pressures, and opportunities to reimagine how sacred spaces can serve the public good.

The Opportunity

We are seeking an organized, proactive Outreach Coordinator to support the day-to-day implementation of the Sustainable Solutions for Sacred Sites (S4) program during its 2027 launch year, as well as support Bricks and Mortals’ member and community outreach.

S4 helps congregations navigate the complex relationship between mission, property, and long-term sustainability. The initiative combines cohort-based learning, peer exchange, coaching, expert training, and technical assistance. We help faith leaders explore options for their buildings and develop practical next steps. Building on previous S4 cohorts and resources, Bricks & Mortals will launch a new phase of the program in 2027. Working closely with program leadership, coaches, and participating congregations, the Outreach Coordinator will help keep activities on schedule, support strong relationships and participant experiences, maintain accurate records, and help turn program goals into measurable results. This is a hands-on role suited to someone who is comfortable operating independently within a small, collaborative team.

Key Responsibilities

Membership Engagement and Recruitment

• Lead community outreach and engagement to faith and real estate communities, and other community stakeholders, throughout the five boroughs.
• Serve as a key point of contact for Bricks & Mortals members and prospective members, responding to inquiries, facilitating connections, and maintaining strong relationships.
• Support membership recruitment efforts, including identifying prospective members, conducting outreach, and following up with interested organizations and individuals.
• Manage membership operations, including onboarding new members, tracking renewals, maintaining accurate membership dues records, and managing the membership database.
• Help plan and coordinate membership meetings, networking opportunities, and other engagement activities that connect members.
• Collaborate with the Executive Director to develop and implement strategies to grow membership, strengthen engagement, and improve retention.
• Track membership activity, recruitment efforts, and renewal rates, providing regular updates to the Executive Director.

Program Planning and Implementation

• Build and maintain work plans, schedules, deliverable trackers, and project-management systems for the S4 program.
• Coordinate the recruitment, onboarding, and ongoing participation of congregations and cohort members, including communications, calendars, materials, and follow-up.
• Serve as a central point of contact for participating congregations, coaches, technical-assistance providers, and partner organizations.
• Help coordinate cohort in-person sessions, including speakers, registrations, travel or venue logistics, materials, and post-event follow-up.
• Track coaching and technical-assistance requests, coordinate referrals to subject-matter experts, and follow up on action items and participant needs.

Administration and financial stewardship

• Track the S4 program budget monthly, reconcile expenses and accounting records with the bookkeeper or finance team, identify discrepancies, and flag budget variances promptly.
• Maintain organized grant and financial documentation to support accurate reporting and compliance with funding requirements.

Desired Qualifications

As the description above demonstrates, this position draws on skills and experience in outreach, community engagement, event planning, and project and financial management. We are committed to working with and training anyone brought on. The attributes crucial to success in this position are ability to work remotely and self motivate, emotional awareness, excellent communication skills, and ability to balance, organize and manage multiple projects simultaneously.

• Ability to work independently, proactively solve problems, and collaborate effectively in a remote, small-team environment.
• Experience managing projects or programs, ideally in a nonprofit, community-based, faith-based, or grant-funded setting.
• Excellent organization, follow-through, and attention to detail; ability to manage multiple stakeholders, timelines, and priorities.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills and a thoughtful, relationship-centered approach to working with diverse faith communities.
• Experience coordinating events, training, cohorts, or other collaborative learning programs.
• Comfort maintaining budgets, tracking expenses, and working with accounting or financial records.
• Experience with program evaluation, grant reporting, spreadsheets, and shared project-management tools is helpful.
• Familiarity with faith communities, real estate, adaptive reuse, community development, or affordable housing is an asset.
