About the role
Volunteers of America Colorado is a nonprofit, faith-based organization dedicated to helping those in-need transform their lives. Through more than 50 distinct human service programs, Volunteers of America changes the lives of more than 140,000 vulnerable Coloradoans each year. VOA services include housing and emergency shelters, hunger and nutrition services, and many other community support programs. Our work touches the mind, body, heart and ultimately the spirit of those we serve. VOA integrates compassion with highly effective programs that build and strengthen communities. Volunteers of America Colorado believes unique challenges require unique and thoughtful solutions. VOA creates specialized programs to meet the critical needs of the communities we serve—our programs across Colorado look different because each community is distinct. We engage faith, relationship-building, and volunteers wherever we go to lift up and support Colorado’s most vulnerable citizens. The Family Service Coordinator is directly responsible for the service provision and housing assistance for the families in the Affordable Housing Portfolio. This program serves a diverse community of families, seniors and people with disabilities living in an affordable housing setting.
