25-26 Fencing in the Park Program Coordinator VISTA

The Prescod Institute for Sport, Teamwork, and Education (PISTE) is a 501(c)3 community fencing program and learning center whose mission is to teach the sport of fencing and its principles of discipline, strategic thinking, problem solving, and fitness, while improving access to quality education for youth in under-resourced communities. Our intention is to inspire excellence and support students to become their best selves through the critical thinking and rigor required of the sport. PISTE’s Program Coordinator role is an opportunity to help build the capacity of a dynamic, grass-roots community-centered non-profit. This position will be remote and in-person, working collaboratively with our PISTE Team to support a variety of program operations and associated administrative tasks. This person will be a dependable, organized, fast and eager learner who is detail-oriented, highly responsive to emails, and is great at outreach, communications, and follow-ups to gain participant sign-ups (via phone calls, texts, and emails). Strong interpersonal skills and an ability to meet deadlines are critically important. They must have a strong command of the Google Suite of programs (ex. Google Sheets, Forms, and Slides) and Canva (preferred), and be able to focus on and coordinate multiple items simultaneously (ex. Help schedule coaches, PISTE students, PISTE Schools and Enrichment Programming across multiple sites). Proven record of event logistics preferred (ex. Ability to set up events, identify and distribute needed materials, coordinate participant and resources needed by deadlines set).
