Are you passionate about helping youth thrive and building a safer, stronger community? Vineyard City is seeking a dedicated Communities That Care (CTC) Coordinator to lead an evidence-based program that empowers local leaders and volunteers to prevent youth problem behaviors before they start.
CTC is a proven prevention system that uses local data, community input, and research-backed strategies to reduce risks facing youth-such as substance use, violence, and school dropout-and increase protective factors like family support, opportunities for involvement, and healthy peer relationships.
As the CTC Coordinator, you will be the driving force behind this work, bringing together schools, law enforcement, parents, youth, health providers, and civic organizations to create meaningful change.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the CTC Coalition: Facilitate regular meetings, guide goal-setting, and oversee implementation of Vineyard's CTC Action Plan.
- Build Partnerships: Engage with local leaders, schools, parents, public health agencies, and civic groups to promote coalition involvement.
- Promote Prevention Science: Educate the public and stakeholders about CTC's five-phase prevention model and the importance of evidence-based strategies.
- Coordinate Activities: Plan community events and prevention activities; arrange for technical assistance or training as needed.
- Manage Program Materials: Maintain and update program documents including bylaws, goals, and reports; track progress and adjust as needed.
- Use Data for Change: Share local survey data with stakeholders in a clear and actionable way.
- Support Youth Engagement: Ensure young people have a voice in coalition work and prevention strategies.
Duties will include some evening work. Occasional travel required.
Ideal Candidate
- Education in Communications, Health, Education, Social Services, or a related field is valuable-however, relevant work experience will also be considered.
- Experience developing and managing community-based programs, especially those involving youth or prevention.
- Demonstrated skill in budgeting, public speaking, grant writing and management, and statistical or program reporting.
- Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build cooperative working relationships across diverse groups.
- Familiarity with youth development, public health strategies, or the CTC prevention framework is a plus.
- Knowledge of local youth programs, school systems, or community networks.
- High level of integrity, accountability, and self-direction.
- Strong organizational and communication skills-both verbal and written.
NOTE: Pre-employment drug testing and background check are required. The City will provide reasonable accommodations for any applicant during the selection process.
