Community Program Manager (Nonprofit)

Island Volunteer Caregivers (IVC) is looking for a compassionate, skilled program manager to join our team in a contract, part-time role supporting the Old Friends Club. The program is slated to begin late fall of 2026. Part of the program manager's role will be to help develop and implement the program.

The Program Manager leads the program alongside a Program Assistant and volunteers, creating a warm environment where members feel safe, valued, and engaged. This is a deeply rewarding role for someone who brings both creativity and compassion to their work.
