We’re Hiring! Program & Administrative Assistant.

The Detroit Parks Coalition is excited to announce a new opening for a Program & Administrative Assistant — a role perfect for someone looking to gain hands on experience in varied non-profit roles while making a real impact in Detroit’s parks.

This position is ideal for an entry-level candidate who wants hands-on experience and exposure to multiple parts of a nonprofit organization. The Program & Administrative Assistant will work across departments, supporting programs, operations, and community engagement efforts. It’s a great opportunity to build professional skills while learning how a local mission-driven coalition functions from the inside.

This position is perfect for someone who truly wants to be out in the parks, not stuck behind a desk. From supporting DPC programs to helping with park events and activities, this role offers a balance of remote administrative work and on-the-ground involvement. You’ll get to see firsthand how programs come together and how park spaces come together to serve Detroit’s residents.

If you’re organized, enthusiastic, and passionate about green spaces, community work, and Detroit this role offers meaningful experience, mentorship, and a chance to grow within the environmental and nonprofit sector. We’re looking forward to expanding our team with the right fit— if that’s you or someone you know, check out the listing here. Applications close February 14th.
