Position Description:

Revitalize CDC is seeking a qualified candidate to support the development and implementation of community programs in focus neighborhoods. The Community Sustainability Outreach Coordinator will support two complementary initiatives aimed at improving environmental and public health outcomes in environmental justice neighborhoods of Chicopee and Holyoke. Through the DCR Greening the Gateway Cities Program (GGCP), the position assists with expanding the urban tree canopy to reduce energy use, mitigate heat islands, and enhance neighborhood livability.

This hands-on role bridges fieldwork, outreach, and education, helping residents understand how trees and energy efficiency work together to create healthier, more sustainable homes and communities.

  • Help coordinate volunteer and community planting events with city staff and nonprofit partners.
  • Support follow-up visits to ensure healthy tree establishment and care.

Energy Education

  • Deliver community education and outreach around home energy efficiency, including Mass Save, weatherization, and energy retrofit opportunities.
  • Distribute educational materials at community events, workshops, and door-to-door campaigns.
  • Assist residents in navigating Mass Save assessments and connecting with approved contractors.
  • Track outreach metrics, participation, and outcomes for grant reporting.
  • Collaborate with energy partners such as HomeWorks Energy, Valley Opportunity Council, and local municipalities.

Qualifications:

  • Proficient with Microsoft Office Suite, G Suite, as well as data collection, capture and tracking methods
  • Ability to organize and maintain appropriate records and documentation
  • Excellent oral and written presentation skills
  • Ability to think creatively with excellent problem-solving skills
  • Willingness to be flexible, adaptable and work as a team with clients, volunteers and staff
  • This position requires frequent sitting, standing, traveling, walking, talking or listening and driving.
  • Additional appropriate education or related experience may be substituted for certifications
  • Sensitivity to cultural diversity and the needs of individuals with low-incomes
  • Interest or background in environmental studies, sustainability, forestry, or energy efficiency.

Benefits

Gain hands-on experience in urban forestry, energy efficiency, and community engagement.

  • Play a key role in advancing environmental justice and public health goals.
  • Work within a mission-driven nonprofit making visible improvements to local neighborhoods.
  • Professional development opportunities and pathways toward green career certifications (e.g., BPI, energy auditing, urban forestry).

Requirements:

  • Ability to work with diverse populations
  • A passion for Revitalize CDC’s mission, along with knowledge of affordable housing, and critical housing needs
  • Ability to work a flexible schedule that may include evenings or weekends depending on the organization’s needs
  • Ability to take initiative and work in a fast-paced and sometimes demanding work environment
  • Willingness to adapt to different work environments and represent the organization in a professional manner
  • Willingness to learn and grow
  • Support our workplace culture of support and teamwork

Preferred Qualifications:
