ABOUT A BED FOR EVERY CHILD

A Bed for Every Child is a program of the Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless, working to provide brand-new beds to Massachusetts children who don't have one of their own. As Program Coordinator, you'll keep the program moving on the ground, delivering beds to families, running volunteer bed-building events, prepping materials in the workshop, and handling the logistics that make it all happen.

It's hands-on, people-facing work with a clear mission. Most of your time is spent leading volunteer events and out in the field, so we're looking for someone organized, comfortable speaking to a group, and happy to load a truck one hour and welcome a room of volunteers the next.

POSITION SUMMARY

• Run volunteer events. Set up workstations and materials, welcome and instruct volunteer groups, speak about the program's mission, keep events safe and on schedule, take photos to document the day, then clean up and pack out.

• Deliver beds and furniture. Transport twin beds, mattresses, and furniture to families across Massachusetts loading and unloading safely and representing the program well with families and partners.

• Prep events and materials. Get materials ready, load and unload program vehicles, and keep supplies and the warehouse organized before and after events.

• Build in the workshop. Help cut lumber and produce bed components and event materials using drills, saws, drill presses, CNC machinery. No power-tool or CNC experience needed. We'll train you. Keep the shop clean and safe.

• Handle light admin. Schedule deliveries with families, make coordination calls, and help track inventory and supplies.

  
  

Employment is contingent on passing a CORI (Criminal Offender Record Information) background check.
