Job Announcement: Fundraising Coordinator
Dolores Street Community Services works to prevent homelessness, create affordable housing, build community, and empower low-income residents of San Francisco. We accomplish this through culturally appropriate neighborhood-based services, education, advocacy, and community organizing. In addition to being a provider of direct services and doing advocacy on behalf of the communities we serve since our beginning in 1982, the organization has expanded its work over the past several years to include community organizing on important neighborhood issues including immigrant rights, land use planning, and improving conditions and empowering tenants in Single Room Occupancy (SRO) hotels. Find out more at www.dscs.org.
