Resiliency Coordinator

WHO WE ARE

Little Manila Rising (LMR) is a growing organization with roots in the historic preservation of the Little Manila Historic Site. It was the largest population of Filipinos in the world outside of the Philippines from the 1920's to the 1930's, but was destroyed by the building of a crosstown freeway in the 1960's like so many other marginalized communities in America. Over the past 23 years, our efforts to address white supremacy have caused us to grow into other areas such as educational equity, environmental justice / climate change, immigration rights, and health equity for all people in South Stockton.

SUMMARY OF POSITION

The Resiliency Coordinator strengthens the community's capacity to prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies and disruptions. This position works across Little Manila Rising programs and community partners to ensure that the center remains a safe, adaptable, and trusted hub during times of crisis. The Coordinator develops plans, training, and partnerships that enhance both organizational and community resilience. The Resiliency Coordinator will also be involved with the Little Manila Rising Center development (which is currently in the construction phase) as we look into renovation features that can make the Center and other potential community sites into resiliency hubs.
