ETC Community Coordinators are an integral part of
the support structure we offer students, host families,
schools, and partner organizations. Coordinators are the
first point of contact and are trusted advisors ranging in
issues from student/host family personality conflicts to
school-related questions. Through monthly in-person contact
with the students, Coordinators are also a necessary link to
the ETC office and raises awareness of issues so that they
can be resolved early.Community Coordinators have a range
of responsibilities, apart from the advisory role.
Coordinators are invaluable connections to schools in their
area and are often the ones to obtain acceptance agreements
for the students before they arrive. Also, Coordinators are
responsible for the recruitment of host families for the
students and then leading orientations for those families.
Once the students arrive, Coordinators are responsible for
arranging airport meetings with the host families, student
orientations and assisting in student enrollment in school.
ETC asks that Coordinators have a valid driver's license,
full use of a car, experience in conflict resolution, a
flexible schedule, and a strong desire to learn about other
cultures.
As Coordinators develop strong relationships with
their students and host families, they find that they, too,
learn an extraordinary amount about themselves and the world
around them. Community Coordinators are a valued member of
the ETC team and an important part of the students and host
families' lives. We would love to hear from you if you would
like to explore this wonderful opportunity! You can also
download and fill out the Community Coordinator Profile information and forward that to us.
