How to Apply for Events and Ministry Coordinator (Onsite, Volunteer)

at Apartmentlife

🏢 About Apartmentlife

Apartmentlife uniquely blends community service with ministry by embedding coordinators within apartment communities to foster genuine connections and radical hospitality. Unlike typical property management roles, they operate on a 'business as ministry' model, focusing on impacting residents' lives through intentional relationships and events. This organization appeals to those seeking to integrate faith with practical service in residential settings.

About This Role

As an Events and Ministry Coordinator, you'll plan and host two monthly events to connect residents with each other and local resources, while providing personal care and enhancing the community's online reputation through resident testimonials. This role directly impacts apartment communities by creating spaces for relationship-building and demonstrating unconditional love through practical acts of service. You'll serve as the bridge between residents, property staff, and the wider community.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve morning planning for upcoming community events, followed by afternoon visits with residents to build relationships and assess needs, then preparing marketing materials for monthly activities. Evenings could include hosting a resident social event or meeting with property staff to coordinate community initiatives, with flexibility to respond to resident needs as they arise.
