    Primary Location: Duke Legacy Center, 45356 Division Street, Lancaster, CA

    Schedule: Full-time; schedule varies based on operational needs. Standard hours may include 9:15 a.m. to 6:15 p.m. , with adjusted hours during intersession programming (Club Genius), generally 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

    This position may require occasional overtime, evenings, or weekends to support safe site operations, family events, pantry services, volunteer coordination, and proper site closure.

    POSITION SUMMARY:

    The Intersession & AVBGC Volunteer Engagement Coordinator is responsible for leading and coordinating youth programming operated at the Duke Legacy Center, or other community center during intersession timeframes for local school districts. During non-intersession timeframes, this position is also responsible for overseeing volunteer recruitment, onboarding, and placement across all AVBGC program sites, in addition to supporting community engagement and food pantry operations.

    This position plays a key role in ensuring the AVBGC serves as a high-quality community-based program site for students during periods when local school sites are not operating intersession programs. The Coordinator is responsible for planning, implementing, and evaluating engaging programs that support the goals of Expanded Learning Opportunities Programs (ELO-P), including enrichment, academic support, physical activity, social-emotional development, and meaningful youth engagement.

    In addition, this role leads AVBGC-wide volunteer coordination efforts by recruiting volunteers, interns, 1:1 aides, and other approved third-party providers; ensuring all required onboarding steps are completed; and coordinating appropriate placement at Club sites based on organizational needs. This includes helping ensure volunteers and third-party support personnel receive proper orientation, complete required safety and compliance steps, and are placed in a manner that supports safe, effective operations throughout the organization.

    The Coordinator works closely with the Program Director, Regional Directors, site leaders, schools, families, and community partners to align programming, volunteer support, and community services with organizational priorities, ELO-P expectations, and operational needs.
