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.

“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

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?
