About this Opportunity

The community center is the result of Nashua Mayor Jim Donchess¿ acceptance of the White House initiative My Brother¿s Keeper Community Challenge under the Obama Administration. The MBK Community Challenge is a national call to action to build and execute robust plans to ensure that all young people ¿ no matter who they are, where they come from, or the circumstances into which they are born ¿ can achieve their full potential. This initiative seeks to eliminate opportunity gaps, barriers, and challenges facing our community, with a particular emphasis on youth of color and individuals in marginalized communities. The Center offers free programs and events to all Nashua residents through collaborations with the City, School's, nonprofits, spiritual groups, and dedicated volunteers. Our website is asccnashua.com. We serve between 100 to 200 people per week. Nashua is NH's most diverse city, and we get to be a part of supporting the growth and development of under served communities. Members in this role will complete 1200 hours, serving in a full time capacity, and will be supported by the Director and Children's Program Coordinator.
