Executive Coordinator

About Project Home: 

Located in Keene and the Monadnock region of New Hampshire, Project Home was organized in fall of 2019 as an all-volunteer tax-exempt corporation, working to host asylum seekers in our community and accompany them through the asylum process.  We have so far welcomed 15 families or individuals, totaling 22 adults and 15 children.

Typically, at any one time, we are actively supporting five families or individuals, providing for needs such as housing, food, clothing, health care, education, and legal services.  Our model usually places a guest with a host family for six to twelve months, followed by independent living and a planned transition into financial independence.  A team of volunteers collaborates to support each guest family or individual throughout.

Project Home is governed by a Core Team, and daily operations are currently overseen by a Leadership Team of two or three.  We are funded solely by generous donors and occasional grants from charitable organizations.  We are now investing in our first paid position – an experienced leader who is positioned to help coordinate, sustain, and strengthen our community-based program.
