For over 100 years, we’ve been a trusted force in Essex and Hudson counties, fighting for strong, inclusive communities where every individual and family has the opportunity to thrive. We champion ALICE — the hardworking resident who is Asset-Limited, Income-Constrained, and Employed — and we show up every day to make sure systems work for people, not against them.

This isn’t just a support role — it’s a strategic position. You’ll be at the center of the action: coordinating high-stakes meetings, helping bring signature events to life, managing relationships with donors and board members, and keeping our Newark office running smoothly and efficiently.

Your fingerprints will be on the work that moves our community forward.
