Program & Community Manager
Walk Around Philadelphia is seeking an organized, community-oriented collaborator to help support and grow an evolving civic and cultural project exploring Philadelphia from its margins.
Over the last decade, Walk Around Philadelphia has grown from a small artist-initiated experiment into an ongoing public program inviting neighbors to explore more than 100 miles around the city’s edge together — through wetlands, industrial corridors, parks, working neighborhoods, waterfronts, trails, and all sorts of places most Philadelphians rarely encounter.
The Walk brings together longtime residents and newcomers, experienced and first-time walkers, Philly fans, artists, organizers, curious explorers, and people looking for new ways to understand both the city and one another.
Alongside the walks themselves, the project has grown into a broader ecosystem of public programs, outreach events, volunteer opportunities, partnerships, storytelling, and community gatherings.
Walk Around Philadelphia is now entering a new phase of organizational development — building on years of artist-driven public programming to strengthen long-term organizational infrastructure, community leadership pathways, partnerships, and sustainability.
We are looking for someone who can help shape and support that transition.
This is a multifaceted role that sits at the intersection of program coordination, community engagement, volunteer development, communications, and organizational systems-building.
