Program Coord., Center for Neighborhood Tech., Chicago

Position: CNT Water – Program Coordinator

Organizational Background
The Center for Neighborhood Technology (CNT) is an award-winning creative think-and-do tank that advances urban sustainability by researching, inventing and testing strategies that use resources more efficiently and equitably. CNT's staff works across a range of disciplines and issues-including energy, climate, transportation, community development and housing, and natural resources.

CNT, together with its two non-profit affiliates, CNT Energy and I-GO Car Sharing, engages in four primary activities: 1) researching & analyzing urban problems; 2) advocating for public policies that could help solve those problems; 3) developing web-based information tools to change how people – residents, policymakers and market actors – understand and act in response to those problems; and 4) designing and launching economic development social ventures to address those problems in innovative
ways.

CNT received a MacArthur Award for Creative and Effective Institutions in 2009.

See our website for more information at www.cnt.org.

CNT Water is expanding! We’re looking for a Program Coordinator who can help shape and pilot the nation’s first service to reduce urban flooding impacts in our communities and improve people’s quality of life. With support from an exceptional coalition of funders, sponsors and partners, CNT is collecting data on the impacts of flooding, and establishing a unique community-based service that provides solutions—our Wetrofit™ service.

Position
CNT Water’s Program Coordinator will play a pivotal role in this new initiative by implementing the Chicago Sustainable Backyards Program, and assisting the development of Wetrofit™. Our ideal candidate is an effective organizer with exceptional attention to detail, clear ability to empathize and engage with residents and professionals alike, and the aptitude to coordinate a customer-oriented education and rebate program. The preferred candidate is English/Spanish bilingual.

CNT’s Program on Water
Founded in 1978, the Center for Neighborhood Technology is a leader in promoting more livable and sustainable urban communities. As a creative think-and-do-tank, we research, invent, and test strategies that manage urban resources and infrastructure more efficiently and equitably. After 15 years of working at the forefront of water action, CNT’s Water program is beginning a new stage of work defined by our Smart Water for Smart Regions initiative. Our over-arching goal to help communities across the
Great Lakes states achieve pragmatic changes in the way they manage water – changes that are good for residents, good for business and good for the environment.

A core program of this initiative, CNT is piloting Wetrofit™ a one stop service for communities that seeks to reduce the costly damage caused by flooded basements and sewer back-ups into homes and businesses, using swift, low-cost tools such as disconnecting downspouts, repair of private
property laterals, porous paving, rain barrels and bioswales. The service will rapidly scale up delivery of sustainable stormwater infrastructure on public and private property in neighborhoods, bringing economic and environmental resilience to communities while strengthening local economies. Wetrofit will target communities where investment can produce demonstrable results, including low income neighborhoods, with the support of the Sustainable Backyards Program.

The Chicago Sustainable Backyards Program, offers residents advice and incentives to manage their backyards more sustainably, especially through the implementation of green infrastructure that reduces stormwater runoff and provides other environmental benefits. In the short-term, the main method to reach this goal is through the provision of rebates on the purchase of rain barrels, compost bins, native plants, and trees. Long-term goals include advancing awareness of the importance of green infrastructure and encouraging growth in the market for green infrastructure BMPs.

Accountability
The Program Coordinator reports directly to the Stormwater Program Manager. The Program Coordinator collaborates closely with other CNT staff on operations and production activities.
