Family Programs Volunteer Coordinator (Casa Grande Alliance/Public Allies)

Save to Favorites

In partnership with Casa Grande Middle School, our organization (Casa Grande Alliance) is working towards building Family Support Programming that will include programming, training and events for parents and students. In addition, we have been working to create a new computer/internet space for use by students and parents. Additionally, we will develop the capacity to provide navigation and referral services to the many member social service organizations that comprise the Casa Grande Alliance. We will also work to leverage resources from community partners to bring in to serve the families. The Ally will be instrumental in coordinating this effort and will be involved at every level of development and implementation. In addition, we expect the Ally will coordinate parents and community members to build a volunteer base to help us offer programs, manage and advise the project.

Public Allies is a national movement committed to advancing social justice and equity by engaging and activating the leadership of all people.

When you join Public Allies, you join a national network of inspiring leaders dedicated to practicing six core values of Diversity/Inclusion, Collaboration, Continuous Learning, Integrity, Building on Assets, and Innovation. We want our Allies to learn, grow, and lead in diverse and challenging environments.

Our intensive program starts in the fall and runs through summer. Allies who are selected invest 10 months in nonprofit and community-based organizations, while receiving valuable leadership and professional training.
