PT Outreach Coordinator

CAMBA is a community of staff, volunteers, clients, donors, neighbors and partners who work together to build an inclusive New York City, where all children and adults have access to the resources and supports they need to thrive. We take a comprehensive approach by offering more than 160 integrated programs in:
Education & Youth Development, Family Support, Job Training & Employment Support Services, Health, Housing, and Legal Services. We reach more than 65,000 individuals and families each year at our 90 locations, including 10,000 youth. CAMBA serves a diverse cross section of New Yorkers from new mothers in Brownsville to job seekers in the Rockaways. More than half of our clients are immigrants and refugees from around the globe.

Over 85% of our families are in living in poverty, reflecting the challenges faced by nearly 1.7 million New Yorkers today.

CAMBA operates four (4) DYCD-funded Beacon Community Centers located in New York City public schools. Beacon Centers are school-based community hubs that operate after school, evenings, weekends, school holidays, and summers, offering academic support, recreation, arts, sports, leadership development, and enrichment programming for elementary, middle school, and high school youth, along with adult and family programming, community events, and partner-led activities that make the school building a resource for the entire neighborhood.

Beacon Centers are designed to be driven by community need, and are expected to demonstrate ongoing, documented outreach and engagement with residents, families, schools, community boards, elected officials, and community-based partners.
