Job Summary

ABOUT RESTORE SMALL GROUPS:

Restore Small Groups was founded in 2000 and is a non-profit dedicated to being and creating healing communities. We are rooted in Christian tradition and work to support each individual’s unique path of transformation and well-being. We are committed to promoting social healing through empathetic connection, impacting community health and improving mental health equity. Our unique peer to peer small group programming helps people engage in and commit to life change in a safe and compassionate environment. Our signature program, Journey to Freedom, has been used for over 15 years to help people self-examine, grow in personal awareness, and make life change. Today, we have 7 unique curricula that we use in our group process. Journey to Freedom has been translated into 6 languages. We have local, national and international partnerships.

 

RESTORE SMALL GROUPS CULTURE:

Restore is dedicated to helping our clients grow into their best emotional, spiritual, mental and physical health. But we are not bystanders in this work. We are committed to living out the mission in our own lives and constantly pursuing our own health and well-being. There is nothing more important to us than building and maintaining intentional, caring relationships with each other, our clients, supporters and community partners. It is the heart of what we do. We believe in honesty, inclusivity, transparency, accountability, compassion, integrity, healthy relationship boundaries and good stewardship of our resources. Our employees must be willing to continually pursue personal growth and learning. We are a small team and each of us play significant roles in the life of the organization and its impact. Our work requires creativity, innovation and collaboration as well as the ability to take initiative and work independently with little supervision. This is a workplace for people interested and passionate in continually building an organization for its future success. We also believe in work-life balance and have a flexible workweek, generous PTO and paid holidays. Our office is located in downtown Nashville and this position does require being able to travel to Nashville periodically during the week.

As Program Coordinator, the primary focus of this position is to grow the programming offerings and reach of Restore. This includes planning support groups first and foremost, but it also means finding other creative ways to reach our community through education, seminars, and special programs targeted to holistic health and well-being.
