About Amos House

Amos House is a trauma-informed nonprofit serving individuals and families experiencing homelessness and poverty in Providence, Rhode Island. Our Family Shelter provides case management and supportive services to up to 57 families with over 150 children, with an average length of stay of 6 to 9 months. The Family Shelter Playroom is a safe, therapeutic space where children engage in age-appropriate play, activities, and homework support, open after school and during vacation periods.

Our Mother Child Reunification Program (MCRP) provides structured, recovery-based transitional housing for 11 mothers and their children (ages birth to 9) and includes a dedicated playroom where children's supportive services are also offered.

Job Overview

The Children's Supportive Services Program Coordinator leads the day-to-day operations of the Family Shelter Playroom, overseeing programming, staff supervision, and direct service to children across Amos House family programs. This role requires a skilled, trauma-informed leader who can hold space for children with a range of experiences while building structure, joy, and safety in the playroom environment.

This role will also dedicate up to one day per week at MCRP, offering interactive play and developmental activities to children in that program.

What You'll Do

Manage and order supplies within the Playroom budget.
Facilitate free play and structured programming, actively engaging with children to build trust and rapport.

Supervision & Team Leadership

Supervise a team of 3 to 4 Child Support Specialists, including scheduling, daily task management, and activity facilitation.
Coordinate and oversee volunteer recruitment and responsibilities; cultivate relationships with area schools and colleges to identify volunteer tutors and playroom support.

Family & Community Engagement

Conduct intakes for new families entering the shelter.
Connect children and families to additional supportive services through referrals.
Support families in navigating school-related barriers; attend IEP or behavioral intervention meetings at the request of caregivers and shelter staff.
Identify and promote outside activities and events for families, including obtaining tickets to local museums, the zoo, and community events.

MCRP Site Coverage

Spend up to one day per week at the Mother Child Reunification Program, providing interactive play and age-appropriate developmental activities for children ages birth to 9.
