Financial Literacy Coordinator

Harlem Children’s Zone (HCZ) — a world-renowned education and poverty-fighting organization based in New York — seeks enthusiastic, dedicated, and mission-aligned Financial Literacy Coordinator to join our Wealth Builds team.

Wealth Builds is an innovative effort to eliminate the racial wealth gap through nine evidence-based pillars beginning in Harlem and ultimately expanding to up to 10 cities nationwide. Our theory of action is that cradle-to-career services plus capital lead to social and economic mobility. Through Wealth Builds, we are providing financial education and infusions of capital, with the goal of increasing social, financial, and human capital, ultimately generating wealth for our youth.

We are seeking a committed and organized Coordinator to support the Financial Literacy pillar. This role will sit on the Wealth Builds team, a high-priority strategic initiative at HCZ focused on creating pathways to social and economic mobility. The coordinator will possess excellent project management, organization, and prioritization, and written and verbal communication skills. The successful candidate will be a strong collaborator who thrives in a dynamic, fast-paced, and highly team-oriented environment. This Coordinator will be primarily responsible for assisting the Director of Financial Education and the Assistant Director of Financial Education in the execution of the socialization and data strategy of the initiative.
