Activities Coordinator — Norristown 50+ Community Center
Montco SAAC
Location: On-site, Norristown, PA 19401
Schedule: Monday–Friday, 32.5 hours/week
Salary: $40,306–$44,850/year (based on a 32.5-hour week)
Reports to: Center Manager/Director
Why this role
This is hands-on, people-first work with impact you feel the same day. As Activities Coordinator, you'll design and lead the programming that brings our members through the door and keeps them coming back. The rewarding challenge: building experiences that speak to a wide age range, drawing in the newly-50 crowd while keeping our older members active, connected, and engaged. If you genuinely enjoy older adults and believe staying active and connected changes how people age, you'll do meaningful work here.
And we mean it when we say we respect your life outside of work. This is a 32.5-hour week, paired with a strong benefits package and generous paid time off. You'll do rewarding work and still have time and energy left for yourself.
