Director of Community & Education

Uplift Georgia’s main focus is to improve the lives of lower to middle income apartment complex residents by cultivating community and increasing social capital among neighbors. Uplift Georgia provides educational, enriching, and entertaining opportunities for residents to participate in together. We believe these shared experiences coupled with an increase of interaction between neighbors will ultimately lead to greater social capital, higher levels of trust, and an overall greater willingness to support and invest in their community. Uplift Georgia also aims to increase access to untapped resources available in a given community while simultaneously providing increased access to outside resources through the forging of relationships between residents and members of other supportive organizations.

Uplift Georgia is looking to hire a Director of Community & Education to oversee all of our educational and community programming at six different apartment complex locations.  The DCE is also responsible for partnering with apartment complex management teams, writing grants for the NP, & growing, strengthening, and evaluating current and future programming.
