PCOA believes older adults are most likely to thrive when support reaches them where they already live, gather, and build their lives. They are most likely to thrive when they have access to education and opportunities that help them to connect, support each other, and make healthy choices. And they are most likely to thrive when we build cross-functional partnerships to elevate our services beyond what any one organization can do.
The Director of Community Engagement and Education leads the agency’s work to make that real. This is a visionary, relationship-driven role responsible for extending PCOA’s presence into neighborhoods across Pima County, mobilizing volunteers and those who support them, and building the partnerships that connect older adults to one another and to the services they need. This role builds and strengthens educational offerings and embeds programs and support into cross-sector partnerships.
This is not a back-office management role. The Director is a determined motivator and community builder who turns PCOA’s mission into visible, local action. They lead a team and a growing network of partners and volunteers toward a shared goal: that no older adult in our community is isolated, overlooked, or out of reach.
The Director carries direct programmatic oversight and team management for a portfolio of community-facing programs, including Evidence-Based Health Promotion Programs, the Neighbors Care Alliance, Community Lunch Programs, volunteer services, and other educational and partnership roles.
