Role
Youth Program Coordinator - College and Career Discovery Program
The work involves responsibility for planning, coordinating and supervising one or more youth development programs for the Youth Bureau. Specific tasks and duties will vary depending on the specific program area assigned but generally the incumbent plans, develops, implements and coordinates the assigned program(s), and supervises subordinate employees assigned to the program. The incumbent is also responsible for recruiting, interviewing and training volunteers and monitoring their performance. In addition, the incumbent is involved in public relations activities to aid in the promotion and development of the youth programs. The incumbent may also assist superiors with applications for program funding by providing supporting program information; however, direct fund-raising activities are the responsibility of higher-level administrators.
This position differs from that of a Youth Program Leader by virtue of the fact that a Youth Program Coordinator exercises administrative oversight of an entire program area. This position differs from that of a Youth Program Administrator by virtue of the fact that a Youth Program Coordinator does not have responsibility for and does not oversee all of the Youth Bureau’s youth development programs, nor is a Youth Program Coordinator independently responsible for seeking funding for assigned programs. Work is performed under the general supervision of the Youth Program Administrator or a higher level administrator, with considerable latitude allowed for the exercise of independent judgment in the performance of the work. Direct supervision is exercised over Youth Program Leaders, seasonal staff, volunteers and student interns. Does related work as required.
