Program Coordinator

Join to apply for the Program Coordinator role at Alzheimer's Association - Orange County Chapter

As Program Coordinator of Programs, you join an exclusive team of leaders responsible for the implementation of the Alzheimer’s Association Portfolio of Community Program Offerings. The Portfolio brings awareness, education and support to all communities in the United States and activates a grassroots network of individuals and community leaders to work toward a world without Alzheimer’s and all other dementia.

Utilizing your proven leadership, networking and relationship building skills to cultivate key community connections, you will drive success and expand the reach of our community offerings by strategically identifying and engaging community partners and activating and empowering volunteers, especially in new, under‑represented and rural communities.

As a successful community mobilizer who will manage multiple program delivery volunteers annually, you will generate excitement and enthusiasm in the community for the cause, coach and inspire your volunteers to implement proven strategies and best practices that result in increased community presence and serving more people with awareness, education and support year over year.

• Recruit, coach, and manage volunteers to build grassroots movements that meet organizational goals in select markets. Apply Association best practices in community engagement and volunteer activation, leveraging strong relationship‑building skills to drive successful outcomes.
• Activate and support a portfolio of volunteers in select markets using Association methods such as peer coaching, Mission Conversations, and quality improvement strategies. Manage multiple Community Program Offerings simultaneously, demonstrating measurable growth year over year and stepping in as needed to ensure delivery.
• Cultivate and manage community partnerships, including with under‑represented groups, using a relationship‑based, results‑driven approach that enhances awareness, education, support, and brand visibility in all communities.
• Demonstrate cross‑functional collaboration—with revenue, advocacy, leadership, and other stakeholders—to identify and qualify awareness opportunities, strategically engaging supporters to expand reach and impact.
• Evaluate and improve volunteer performance as needed, and manage budgets, grants, and timelines with precision.
• Inspire urgency and support for the Alzheimer’s Association’s full mission, advancing care, fundraising, and advocacy across all communities with an emphasis on reaching under‑represented communities with limited access to diagnosis and treatment.

• Bachelor’s degree in related field or equivalent experience; three years of experience in program delivery or volunteer management. Experience in community health and community mobilization a plus.

• Able to recognize and cultivate relationship potential with targeted partners/organizations and diverse populations to create a sense of urgency related to dementia awareness as a major health problem and motivate action.
• Ability to effectively collaborate with others, hold others accountable and reach mutually agreeable outcomes.

• Proven experience in community service development and sustained program integration.
