Large‑Scale Tournaments are baseball and softball events that provide schools and community partners with the opportunity to bring a team to a Jays Care–hosted tournament, showcase their skill development, experience a positive and healthy competitive environment, and participate in organized gameplay. The Administrative Coordinator will support these tournaments by managing event logistics, such as scheduling, database management, and vendor coordination, developing information packages and serving as the primary point of communication with event vendors. 

RBI Summer Edition is an initiative that offers daily programming in July and August for over 2500 youth (ages 6-13) attending Toronto District School Board (TDSB) Elementary Summer School. The program offers children from priority neighborhoods enriching baseball activities and experiences that support youth development. The Administrative Coordinator will support this program as an organizer of program logistics (travel, supplies, vendors) and serve as the primary communicator with participant families. 

As an Administrative Coordinator, you will:

• Proven capacity to build strong, respectful relationships with communities we serve including indigenous communities, schools, and partner organizations to support successful participation in tournaments and camps. 

Key Responsibilities: 

• Research, negotiate and procure goods & services for program operations 

• Plan and coordinate program logistics, including facility bookings, equipment needs, schedules, and overall alignment with organizational goals, safety standards, and equity principles. 

• Serve as the primary point of contact for educators, families, coaches, and community partners, providing clear communication and responsive support. 

• Manage administrative processes, such as enrollment tracking, database management, inquiries, feedback surveys, and program documentation. 

• Oversee on‑site tournament and program operations, ensuring smooth flow, participant safety, real‑time troubleshooting, and a positive, solution‑focused environment. 

• Support program evaluation and communications, including tracking metrics, contributing to post‑program reporting, and assisting with materials, promotions, and participant updates.

• In-stadium events 

• Community events 

• Fundraising events
