Father & Community Engagement Coordinator (FCEC):
The FCE Coordinator is a key position within the Alternative Community Strengthening Team at
SOMOS Mayfair, which operates two Family Resources Centers in East San José. This position
has been designed to support positive male and fatherhood involvement in the development
and success of young children, youth and their families, to increase leadership opportunities for
fathers in our community; and, to consistently advocate for whole-family and whole-community
approaches to address systemic inequities in East San José. The FCE Coordinator reports to the
Chavez Family Resource Center Site Supervisor and will work with a team of Coordinators in
addition to the FRC Manager, and Director of Community Impact and Policy to execute our
proven SOMOS model bridging early learning, leadership development and community
organizing strategies.
This position will be responsible to co-develop and executing strategies to increase
father/male engagement by designing effective outreach strategies, facilitating learning
spaces prioritized by existing fathers/males engaged, assessing needs, supporting the
leadership development of participants, and bridging services and resources by activating our
current ecosystem of partnerships.
Specifically, the Coordinator will conduct thorough needs assessments and make internal and
external referrals based on individual and family needs of each participant; this includes
connecting with system partners at the County and City levels, partner school districts and other
family-serving nonprofits. This position will co-create and co-facilitate educational learning
spaces to support the development and growth of individual participants and to foster a greater
understanding of child development; this may entail implementing existing curriculum or
designing new home-grown programming. The Coordinator will work with a group of community
leaders to support their leadership development journey by following our existing model and
protocols. As SOMOS unveils advocacy campaigns or efforts to elevate concrete community
needs, it is expected that this position will actively support said efforts by participating in
actions and/or creating learning spaces to conduct root-cause analysis with an equity and
social justice lens.
Lastly, this position will work in an ecosystem of strong partnerships, including: the Sí Se Puede
Collective, First 5 Santa Clara County, Alum Rock Unified School District and East Side High
School Union District. It is expected that the incumbent will coordinate or support in the
coordination of partnership efforts and joint programming.
As part of our evaluation and learning strategy, the Coordinator will enter and manage all data
information related to areas of responsibility and support with messaging and marketing
strategies as needed.
