Youth Activities Coordinators
RAY Coordinators are recruited locally from their communities by a partner organization like tribal or city councils, local schools, or health clinics. Successful applicants work with their supervisor and locally identified site monitor to work closely with community residents. Coordinators need no previous experience working with youth, though they must be able to pass a background check and express interest in working with local children.
