This position is funded through the National Fund’s Education Innovation and Research (EIR) grant from the U.S. Department of Education, including required match, through December 31, 2030.

Program Coordinator, Language & Agriculture

Location: Remote, with Arizona or New Mexico preferred

The National Fund is seeking a Program Coordinator to support its Native Language and Food Sovereignty focus areas. Reporting to the Program Director, the coordinator keeps day-to-day work moving across both areas, exercising independent judgment within the Fund’s established priorities and budgets: tracking grants and deliverables, organizing site visits and convenings, managing program data and records, and maintaining active communication with partner schools. Both focus areas are community-led, so the coordinator will work closely with partner school leadership and staff as they develop programs at their schools. This position is grant funded by a mixture of funding sources through at least December 2027. This is a full-time, exempt position with health insurance, paid holidays, and PTO.
