Position Available: Director HR & Operations

July 23, 2024 by Sam Felsing

Since 2007, the Community Living Campaign has been charting a new path for what it means to age in community in San Francisco. CLC’s mission is to ensure older adults and adults with disabilities can age and thrive in their own homes and neighborhoods. To accomplish this mission, CLC promotes neighborhood-based Community Networks to bring people and services together. CLC also spearheads citywide initiatives to promote digital access and employment opportunities, and advocates on selected age and disability-related issues that are too big for any individuals, organizations, or neighborhoods to solve alone. 

CLC is participant-focused and driven, able to shift to meet evolving needs on both neighborhood and larger systemic levels. We bring a positive, kind, and can-do spirit to strengthening our communities through the power of older adults and people with disabilities. We are a values-driven organization and share a passion for recognizing and promoting the skills and talents of older adults and people with disabilities. Over 60% of our employees are older adults and/or people with disabilities.

To build on recent growth and success, CLC is adding to its leadership team and seeks a strong candidate to fill a new position, Director of Operations. This position will play a pivotal role in building operational and administrative systems required to support programmatic and administrative functions for the organization, meeting the needs of staff, leadership, and external stakeholders, including participants, funders, and neighborhood leaders.

Position Description
This position will be charged with helping to strengthen and maintain CLC’s operational backbone, with direct accountability for metrics and reporting, human resources, and central office operations along with strong cross-organizational collaboration with the Program Directors, Finance Director, and Director of Communications.

The Director of Operations will be self-motivated and collaborative, able to move with patience and clarity while leading three essential components of the organization’s operations. They will enjoy creating an environment that balances structure with room for staff and neighbors to generate new ideas and approaches. All CLC Team members must be willing to wear multiple hats and thrive in a culture that places a high priority on collaboration and team support.

  • Work with the Chief of Staff to drive staff in-service and training and team building that supports work in a multi-cultural setting, promotes equity, and helps reduce ageism, ableism, sexism, and other practices that disempower or actively limit opportunities for staff and participants. 
  • Work with Chief of Staff to provide operational support for Employee Life Cycle: performance evaluations, KPIs, goal-setting, documentation. 
  • Work with the DEIB committee, Chief of Staff, and Executive Team to administer and evaluate results from employee surveys, policy changes, and training throughout the year.

March 28, 2022 by Marie Jobling

Thanks to the Coalition of Agencies Serving the Elderly (CASE) and support from the Department of Disability and Aging Services, a series of articles that highlight how 8 organizations transformed to meet the needs of their participants once the Pandemic changed all our lives.   Judy Goddess was commissioned to interview each organization and write a short narrative with pictures to tell the story of how each organization “pivoted” their programming and their outreach during Covid.

Over 50? Ready to KICKSTART your own business?

October 4, 2021 by Marie Jobling

Did you know that people over 50 are almost twice as likely to found successful companies than those between 20 and 34? It’s true.

A study out of Northwestern University indicates that the prime age for innovation is between 55 and 64 years old. We become better innovators as we age. 

What about you? Have you ever considered starting your own business? 

If you are over 50 and live in San Francisco, your time is now.

Starting in January 2022, Blissen, a San Francisco startup, and SF Tech Council will offer a brand new “Kickstart Your Business at 50+” program online. The 10-week program is designed to guide aspiring older adult entrepreneurs through the step-by-step process of bringing their business ideas to life. 

Key components of the “Kickstart” program include:

  • a cohort-based approach where participants develop meaningful relationships and learn from the experience of peers; 
  • hands-on, practical assignments such as creating a business plan and building a website; 
  • expert guidance and personalized advice from industry experts; and
  • tech clinics to get up-to-speed on the best online tools to manage a business efficiently.

Interested? Apply now at blissen.io 

For more information, contact: karla@sftechcouncil.org or andrew@sftechcouncil.org

This program is funded through a grant from San Francisco’s Office of Economic & Workforce Development (Invest in Neighborhoods Program).

Carol High Shares the Benefits of SF ReServe

September 24, 2021 by Jamie Goddard

“Once I learned about the ReServe program, I knew that it was the right program for me. I felt welcomed immediately and supported by John and the staff to prepare for my interview and to get hired!

ReServe recognized my tech skills in digital marketing and connected me with a local nonprofit to interview and start working within weeks! It was a seamless process.

I’m Carol High, a Marketing Specialist with the League of Women Voters of San Francisco and it’s a great match. The work is important and challenging and I’m gaining more tech skills that will help me grow professionally. I’ve adapted well to remote work while I look forward to in-person opportunities in the coming months.

One of the most meaningful aspects of ReServe, beyond a paycheck, is supporting an esteemed nonprofit in my community. I’m grateful for the team at ReServe! ”

Thanks, Carol!  Posted by Jamie Goddard

Employment and Benefits: CLC SF ReServe can help!

September 4, 2021 by Jamie Goddard

As we navigate these challenging times as a city, community and as individuals there have been more than a few moments of pause. Pause to wonder, when things will “go back to normal”; pause to wonder when we’ll see loved ones, or at least in the same way we may have 20 months ago. Pause to wonder, what’s next for me?

Top of mind for many of SF ReServe’s job applicants is how employment may affect benefits, such as CalFresh or housing. If this is of concern to you, we understand. We can also help by guiding you to appropriate resources to give you an overview of employment and benefits, and, most importantly, resources that can speak to you about your individual situation. This is the most important step – getting support for your situation.

Stay tuned for upcoming online workshops that will focus on laying the groundwork with an overview of common questions and considerations around employment and benefits, and provide you with resources to take the next steps. Each person’s situation is different and there’s no need to go it alone!  Learn more about the SF ReServe Program here.

Finding Fulfilling Work with Community Organizations

March 8, 2021 by Deborah Finestone

Seniors continue to find ways to work safely, even a year into the pandemic. SF ReServe is here to help them continue to find fulfilling work and give back in a professional capacity.

The goal of SF ReServe is to create win-win-win opportunities:

Kathy Barr

  • Provide older adults and people with disabilities who want to work opportunities to work for great causes
  • Help local nonprofits and other community-based organizations find affordable and skilled help
  • Help our communities grow and thrive by matching these experienced individuals with nonprofit organizations.

Kathy Barr was one of many success stories who found work through the program.

“I was able to use my past work experience while I learned a lot, met some great folks, made some new friends and had fun,” she said. “And I felt useful and respected.”

“My experience working with the League of Women Voters of San Francisco has been outstanding. I became part of a community focused on local, state and national election issues — democracy, education, advocacy and voting rights.”

SF ReServe engages the skills of senior and disabled people, “finding us a meaningful way to participate in the City’s nonprofit workforce and be a part of the City’s social fabric,” Barr said.

If you’re looking for work and want to find out more about whether SF ReServe can help match you to a position, apply to be a ReServist.

‘One of the best jobs I’ve ever had’

Rebecca Shotwell

Despite the pandemic, most of our dedicated ReServists continue working, often from home.

One of those is Rebecca Shotwell, who we connected with Sequoia Living. One of her jobs was greeting all the folks who came to the Aquatic Park Senior Center. She eventually transitioned to being part of their regular staff. That changed a year ago.

Now, one of her main jobs is making wellness calls to participants. That transition to working from home was a challenge, Shotwell said.

“The learning curve has been really steep and I’ve done it, developing all kinds of new skills along the way,” she said.

“This job continues to be one of the best jobs I’ve ever had. It’s not just a paycheck, but an opportunity to serve my community and to keep that community connected during the pandemic.”

“The staff at Sequoia Living are smart, funny, compassionate and dedicated to their profession, Shotwell continued. “I will forever be grateful to you for helping me work with such an astounding group of people.”

Interested or have questions?

Friends of St. Francis Childcare Center Partner with SF ReServe

December 19, 2020 by Deborah Finestone

Each year, our Good Neighbor Awards honor some of the dedicated neighbors who volunteer their time to help seniors and people with disabilities get the resources and support they need to age and thrive in their own homes and neighborhoods. We are delighted to honor Friends of St. Francis Childcare Center as our 2020 Good Neighbor Honoree for  SF ReServe.

Friends of St. Francis Childcare Center is one of SF ReServe’s longest-running partners.

They provide high-quality early childhood education services to a culturally and economically diverse urban population. They use a model that calls for building a community of learners and participants, including parents and the community.

The center serves children ages two through five from all of San Francisco’s neighborhoods. This includes a substantial number of low-income families.

In addition, our ReServist, Judith Baker, works with the center to deliver colorful and cheerful cards and messages.
