Village Program Coordinator (Village Hands) role:

We love saying yes to ideas here. Bridging the gap between imagination and reality, this position (typically referred to as the “Village Hands”) is a leadership role that works alongside the 4 village leaders and 1 village “Brain” to make our many small and large programs possible.
