School Community Coordinator (CLC) – Belmont Elementary School
$51,563 to $68,765, depending on experience
Lincoln Parks and Recreation is hiring a School Community Coordinator to lead the Community Learning Center (CLC) initiative at Belmont Elementary School. This is a dynamic, people-centered role focused on building strong connections between students, families, educators, and community partners. We are seeking an experienced leader who can balance relationship-building with organized, effective program execution.
What You’ll Do
This role blends systems-level administrative leadership with direct service, ensuring you stay connected to students while coordinating high-impact programs.
• Collaborate with Leaders: Work with the school principal, CLC director, Parks and Recreation leadership, and other stakeholders to align programs with school and community goals in a way that balances relationship-building with accomplishing results.
• Coordinate Programs: Lead out-of-school time activities such as clubs, sports, and academic enrichment opportunities while managing multiple projects and timelines simultaneously.
• Engage Families: Create meaningful ways for families and neighborhood residents to get involved and have a voice in decision-making.
• Manage Teams: Supervise staff, volunteers, and partners to ensure high quality programming through organized communication, clear expectations, consistent follow-through, and calm, confident leadership.
• Oversee Budgets and Reporting: Manage fiscal responsibilities, ensure policy compliance, and use data to guide improvements.
• Build Partnerships: Serve as a connector between the school, recreation center, and community organizations demonstrating passion for community building, service, and collaboration.
Why Join Us
This is more than a job. It is a chance to make a lasting impact. As the School Community Coordinator, you will help shape after-school programs, strengthen family engagement, and foster a welcoming, collaborative environment. You will work with passionate educators and community leaders, grow your skills, and contribute to a mission that supports youth development, family life, and community well-being through organized, start-to-finish coordination of programs and partnerships.
We Are Welcoming
We serve a vibrant and varied community, and we value the unique perspectives and experiences each person brings. We are committed to finding the best candidate for the role. That person may come from a background that has not always been well represented in our field. If you are excited about this opportunity, we encourage you to apply, especially if you thrive in fast-paced, people-centered environments where organization, flexibility, and steady leadership matter.
Comprehensive Benefits
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Group life insurance
• Employee Assistance Program
• Employer-matched retirement plan
• Paid vacation, sick leave, and holiday time off
• Eligibility for the federal Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Program
Minimum Qualifications
Graduation from high school or equivalent supplemented by college-level coursework in recreation, physical education or related field plus six months of experience working with people in all age groups in a recreational setting involving program and staff supervision; or any equivalent combination of training and experience that provides the desirable knowledge, abilities and skills.
