Program Coordinator (Part-Time)

Do You Want a Job that Has Real Meaning and Enriches Your Life?

Are you looking to be part of an organization that truly makes a difference in people’s lives?

Do you want to work collaboratively with people who share your sense of purpose?

Would you like a flexible schedule and work that is primarily remote?

Are you looking for a less-than-fulltime position that allows you to work only a day or two a week?

If your answers are yes, then the Program Coordinator position at The Doula Program may be exactly what you’ve been looking for. And you may be the person we’re looking for.

The Doula Program’s unique mission is to minimize the isolation and loneliness of New Yorkers with advanced illnesses who are facing the end of their lives alone. We are the only nonprofit that extensively trains, carefully matches, and then supervises Doula Volunteers, who visit the people we serve each week and form meaningful relationships that can last weeks, months or even years. Our volunteers find their lives as enriched as those they visit, and our staff supports the meaningful work that our volunteers do in the community.
