About La Paz KC & Grandview Park Presbyterian Church
La Paz KC is a set of community programs rooted in the Central Avenue corridor of Kansas City, Kansas, and housed at Grandview Park Presbyterian Church: a monthly food pantry and community breakfast, a summer youth program, a Compassion Fund for emergency assistance, and La Cocina de la Paz, a commercial kitchen supporting local food entrepreneurs. The work is grounded in relationship, welcome, and mutual aid.

We are seeking a community engagement coordinator to connect and strengthen these programs and to deepen La Paz’s relationships in the surrounding neighborhood.

Community outreach and organizing. Design and execute outreach in the residential blocks surrounding La Paz; plan and facilitate neighborhood gatherings and listening sessions using the La Paz kitchen and dining space; and build documented relationships with partner organizations, including nonprofits, faith communities, civic groups, and service providers.

Sustainability and grants. Maintain simple records of outreach, attendance, and partnerships to support grant reporting; help research and write grant applications; and support La Paz KC’s transition toward an independent 501(c)(3) community organization.

•Rooted in or deeply familiar with Wyandotte County
