Community Resilience Program Assistant (Temporary — Bilingual Spanish/English)

The Multicultural Center of Marin (MCM) is a nonprofit serving immigrant and low-income families in Marin County. We are hiring a temporary, part-time Community Resilience Program Assistant to cover an employee's leave of absence. We are looking to fill this position immediately.

About this assignment: This is a temporary position covering a staff leave. The assignment runs from hire through December 18, 2026, which is MCM's last working day of the year. The employee on leave is expected to return November 28, 2026, and the weeks that follow are built in as a transition period so that projects, contacts, and records hand off cleanly.

If the employee on leave does not return, MCM may consider the temporary employee for the ongoing position. Continued employment beyond the assignment is not guaranteed and would depend on organizational need and available funding.

The Program Assistant works as part of the Community Resilience Team on projects that build community engagement and participation in issues affecting community well-being, with an emphasis on environment and climate justice. This includes supporting policy, planning, and advocacy strategies that inform community members about issues they have identified as affecting them, and coordinating programs that give community members the information and skills to take part in advocacy efforts.

The role calls for strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and a commitment to community, sustainability, climate action, and environmental justice. The ideal candidate has an interest in community organizing and advocacy and experience working with historically underrepresented communities.

Spanish/English bilingual proficiency is required.
