RTB Program Coordinator

Position: Part-time Program Coordinator: 10 - 20 hrs./week. Salary commensurate with experience.

Reports to: Program Manager

Organization: RTB is the Boston affiliate of Rebuilding Together, a national organization that renovates houses of people unable to pay for essential home repairs and much-needed updates. Non-profit organizations that own their own facilities are also eligible for RTB's assistance. There is no cost to the recipients. RTB organizes and collaborates with skilled workers, tradespeople, volunteers, and other community members.

RTB recipients own their homes or facility, but they cannot afford to pay for critical repairs due to many factors beyond their control. These include rising property taxes; fixed incomes that have not kept pace with the cost of living; and loss of income or financial hardship resulting from medical emergencies or advancing age. Since our founding in 1991, RTB has completed over 750 renovation projects (often top to bottom major repairs for an estimated total value of over $8.5 million).

We rely on financial support from individual contributors, foundations, and corporations to carry out RTB's mission.
