The Bayview Hunters Point YMCA has a pivotal role in addressing some of the major challenges faced by San Franciscans, including chronic disease prevention, substance abuse, elderly isolation, weak educational achievement, and productive after school activities for kids.
Under the general direction of the Senior Director, the CHW Program Coordinator is responsible for coordinating and maintaining the fidelity of the Adults and Family programs and the Aging Adult Programs.
